Located in the heart of Coney Island, we were involved in the transformation of a commercial building, paying special attention to the design of the glass facades. The goal was to create architecture that harmonized with the vibrant energy and unique atmosphere of this iconic New York neighborhood. The lower part of the building is adorned with sections covered by dark metal sheets, adding a touch of robustness and character to the structure, while the upper part rises with a fully glazed tower.
What makes the tower unique are its external glass fins, which not only add a stunning aesthetic element but also help optimize the transmission of natural light inside the spaces, creating a bright and inviting environment for visitors and building occupants. This project represents an excellent synthesis of functionality and design, where the practicality of architectural solutions merges with contemporary aesthetics, creating an architectural icon that seamlessly integrates into the urban fabric of Coney Island.
