SGH consulted on the design of below-grade and courtyard waterproofing, exterior walls and glazing systems, rooftop terrace waterproofing, and roofing. Highlights of our work include:

• Reviewing the proposed design and preparing the design criteria for the enclosure
• Helping select and detail roofing, waterproofing, and metal panel wall systems
• Consulting on the design for fenestration and glazing systems, including exterior glass walls with double acoustic glazing at ground-level and rooftop performance spaces, full-height window walls at other ground-level spaces, operable window assemblies at residences and offices, and a glass entrance canopy
• Answering questions from bidders related to the building enclosure
• Providing construction-phase services, including reviewing contractor submittals, visiting the site to observe ongoing construction, and helping the project team address field conditions
