Description

The architecture of 1247 38th Street showcases a blend of traditional and modern elements. Its facade stands out with an innovative lightweight system that combines aesthetics and functionality. The facade design incorporates Cladify lightweight pre-assembled panels featuring the exquisite Mocha Cream Natural Portuguese Limestone facing, enhancing its unique qualities. By utilizing the pre-assembled panel system, the installation process is streamlined, ensuring efficiency and speed. Moreover, this system significantly improves the thermal properties of the building envelope by seamlessly integrating insulation. The overall design aims to replicate the timeless beauty of traditional stone applications while incorporating cutting-edge technologies of today.

Challenge

  • Replicate the timeless beauty of traditional stone applications, including deep cornice details and engravings, on an educational building
  • Avoid the weight, cost, and slow pace of conventional stone-setting methods

Solution

  • Lightweight pre-assembled panels faced in Mocha Cream Natural Portuguese Limestone, fully prefabricated in large panel sizes
  • Value engineered from dimensional stone, with panels preassembled to mimic the deep cornice details and engravings of dimensional stone
  • Insulation folded directly into the building envelope for improved thermal performance without extra construction steps
  • Installation delivered with far greater speed and precision than traditional stone-setting methods
