Scope/Solutions
Located at 166 North Aberdeen Street in the Fulton Market neighborhood, the new mixed-use high rise includes 224 apartments with ground-level retail and a parking podium. The design blends a light-filled tower with an industrial aesthetic reminiscent of the area’s past as a meatpacking district. Residents enjoy floor-to-ceiling windows, a 14th floor sky deck, a landscaped podium level terrace, a rooftop floor deck, co-working spaces, and a fitness center. SGH consulted on the building enclosure design for the twenty-one story building.
SGH consulted on the design for the exterior walls, waterproofing, and roofing. Highlights of our work include:
- Reviewing the proposed design for the building enclosure and recommending ways to improve for airtightness, watertightness, thermal performance, condensation resistance, and constructability
- Developing details to integrate the enclosure systems, including window walls with metal panel accents, brick clad walls at the podium levels, plaza and terrace waterproofing, and low-sloped roofing
- Consulting on the design of the projecting metal panels, which are glazed into the window wall system
- Evaluating value engineering proposals and alternates submitted by the construction team
- Reviewing shop drawings to compare with the design intent
- Visiting the site to observe ongoing construction and helping the contractor address field conditions
- Witnessing water and air infiltration testing of the window walls to compare with the specified performance requirements
