Residential – Enclos

Constructing custom facades for urban residential towers’ is a balancing act of acoustical and thermal performance while maximizing views. Additionally, providing access to fresh air with operable windows and balconies presents unique conditions within the curtainwall. Working with the client and architect, our designers tailor time-tested philosophies to meet the design intent and achieve a custom building envelope worth living within. Enclos has participated in many landmark residential tower building projects, taking a leadership role in developing facade systems with enhanced thermal and acoustical behavior.

220 Central Park South

220 Central Park is a residential condominium skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan situated directly on Central Park. The Robert A.M. Stern Architects’ design harnesses expansive views of the South-to-North length of Central Park. The primary building enclosure is covered with 2˝ thick Alabama silver shadow limestone cladding to blend in with the timeless buildings surrounding it. Enclos utilized a shop-set stone-clad truss design to unitize the facade, maximizing prefabrication and optimizing on-site installation time.

Pacific Gate

Dubbed California’s first “super prime” development, Pacific Gate is located in the Columbia neighborhood of downtown San Diego and boasts fascinating views of the city and the shoreline. The 458´ tower mirrors the fluid forms of the shoreline using a double-nested curvilinear facade of aluminum and glass curtainwall and window wall systems. Working together with the design and development teams early in a design-assist phase allowed both design intent and budgetary goals to be achieved for the facade.
