SGH consulted on the design of the building enclosure, including below-grade and plaza waterproofing, brick veneer wall assemblies, punched windows, balcony waterproofing, and roofing. Highlights of our work include:

• Reviewing the building enclosure design for airtightness, watertightness, thermal performance, condensation resistance, and constructability, and recommending ways to improve performance
• Helping select and establish performance requirements for systems and materials
• Developing details to integrate the various enclosure systems, including complex conditions at a facade inset and cantilevered balcony bays
• Evaluating lateral drift movement requirements of the tall slender towers and helping detail window and cladding systems to accommodate anticipated movements
• Consulting on the waterproofing design for the numerous amenity spaces with complex conditions, including water features, landscaped areas, and a pool
• Participating in a mockup and in situ performance testing of the window assemblies
• Providing construction phase services, including reviewing building enclosure submittals, visiting the site to observe ongoing construction to compare with the design intent, and helping the project team address field conditions
