SYSTEM PERFORMANCE TESTING / /

Research, design development and testing is performed at our facility.

ENHANCED THERMAL PERFORMANCE

Incorporating insulation outboard in the exterior sheathing effectively ‘jackets’ the entire building enve-

lope. If additional insulation is utilized, this feature significantly enhances the walls thermal performance

in order to achieve LEED certification or other building efficiency standards requirements which may be

necessary.

DEW POINT MANAGEMENT

The utilization of an outboard insulated assembly for the building envelope not only enhances thermal per-

formance, but effectively manages the dew point of the exterior sheathing and air-vapor, externally - not

within the interior cavity as in traditional assembly systems.

SELECTED WORK NARRATIVE /

45 PROVINCEBoston, MA

How do you sequence the installation of separate rainscreen and curtain-wall envelope systems, without compromising the structural integrity or weatherproofing for the entire façade?

The design and fabrication processes were closely coordinated by Island to allow for the integration of multiple cladding systems, while ensuring that materials from different manufacturers fit within the [necessarily] tight building tolerances. Island fabricators’ knowledge of and involvement in the design of each component from the beginning enabled the team to develop a custom component that would allow for the panels to remain unfixed yet impermeable to outside moisture.

CHALLENGE

SOLUTION

OVERVIEW

The façade for 45 Province demanded a type of accuracy that was not common to all panelized systems. The design called for long vertical strips of curtain wall, broken by similar pre-engineered rainscreen panels, which would have to be installed separately. The Boston high-rise tower is clad with German Terra Cotta tiles which were carefully coordinated and designed to fit seamlessly between the long, narrow slices of curtain wall. The extended panel length allowed for a 9-foot ceiling inside of the project’s luxurious, loft-style condos. BUILDING SYSTEM

The installation of this system was atypical in that the outboard insulated rainscreens were made much longer and narrower than usual. This condition necessitated careful calculation as to how much load could be supported by the slabs, considering they would carry the full weight of the panels. In order to lock the panels into place the system relies on steel alignment pins, which also helps to strengthen its resistance against any lateral loads. Lighter framed extrusions were designed at the perimeters of the panels leaving narrow slits for the curtain wall to later occupy.

How do you fabricate panelized cladding for a project with a unique geometry, while preserving the architect’s vision for an iconic building on a highly public site?

In order to adapt a typical unitized cladding system to the complex façade geometries, cross-channel communication and extensive 3D modeling were necessary in order to execute the construction process. Enlisting multiple manufacturers and suppliers required an integrated panel design and fabrication approach so that they could be properly fabricated and installed on site.

OVERVIEW

The Highline 23 is a residential project that sits adjacent to the popular Highline walkway in New York City, a highly trafficked pedestrian thoroughfare. Its stainless steel punched cladding system is paired with two curtain wall facades which adds to the unique aesthetic and high visibility of the project. The prolific character of the project also became its most challenging design parameter. The building demanded a well-executed finished product, as its undulating metal skin and window-walls coupled with its prime location along the Highline would serve as a main attraction for building enthusiasts and city-goers alike.

BUILDING SYSTEM

The project’s technical and logistical complexities, required an integrated approach to designing and fabricating panels so as to ensure their proper delivery and installation. Coordination had to occur during the fabrication process, but also had to remain flexible during the installation of the unitized panels. The metal panels were additionally sealed after adjusting their placement, creating a watertight skin on the Highline elevation, while the curtain walls were installed on its adjacencies. Island used alignment pins to not only lock the panels into their correct locations, but also to resist any lateral forces that would act upon them. This system allowed for on-site adjustments and allowed for the flexibility required to construct the panelized façade for project.

How do you deliver a panelized façade that allows for the realization of specific intended aesthetics, but is also an effectively sealed and efficiently installed building envelope?

By working intensively with manufacturers, Island created a custom die that would integrate with the framing system of our panels. This allowed for increased adaptability while ensuring that the frame, weatherproofing, and aggregation strategies would continue to function as designed.

OVERVIEW

The Mercedes House offered the unique challenge of matching the aesthetic and architectural language created by Ten Arquitectos, while maintaining a building system that could be easily produced and systematically delivered. A driving factor in the design of the envelope was the client’s desire to conceal the window frames, allowing the façade to appear as an uncut sheet of glass resting behind a terra cotta rainscreen.

Additionally, the project featured a compilation of elements which contributed to the complexity and execution of typical a panelized façade system. The project is designed as a residential tower, but also incorporates a public showroom and machine shop for Mercedes Benz that are contained within a three-story plinth alongside the building’s street front.

BUILDING SYSTEM

This was the pilot project for Island’s newly developed V-1 Extrusion Panel Framing System. This system allows the typical outboard-insulated unitized façade to aggregate on site, while creating an immediate watertight four-way intersection at the panel joints. This negates the need for additional caulking on the façade, helping to streamline the erection process for the Mercedes House.

The unitized façade is disguised though the addition of perforated metal screens at the exterior PTEC systems, which are engineered to provide optimum airflow to each unit. By working with the window manufacturer, Island’s engineers were able to create an unusually narrow panel frame to window mullion extrusion, granting further freedom to the designers during the placement of the joints.

How do you design for and fabricate a unitized facade system that incorporates multiple features added on to the standard wall and window panel assemblies?

In its overall complexity, the design for the facade at Via Verde presented a challenge and also an opportunity for Island to demonstrate the benefits and facility of on-site fabrication when it comes to streamlining increasingly complex projects. The sunshades and balconies protruding from the face of building were integrated into the design of the unitized panel assemblies themselves, removing the task of having to separately add these features later on, and simplifying the install schedule.

CHALLENGE

SOLUTION

PANELIZED FACADE ELEVATIONPhotography courtesy of Jules Antonio.

OVERVIEW

The design of the facade for the Via Verde housing project located in the South Bronx, was unique in that the exterior wall system incorporated features which, had they been constructed by traditional methods, would have significantly increased the time it took to complete the project from start to finish. As a new model for public housing, the architects’ aims were not only complete the project as quickly and economically as possible but to also employ smart-building strategies where the costs and time saved for the client could be reallocated towards other civic and community rebuilding initiatives.

BUILDING SYSTEM

The facade designed for the Via Verde project features aluminum, cement, and wood panels with panoramic windows, sunshades, and courtyard balconies. The concept, inspired by the integration of nature and the city, carries through not only the organizing plan of the architecture in its tiered series of green roofs and dynamic gardens, but also in its manufacture.

The facade system features an outboard insulated rain screen integrating 3 types of rainscreen cladding--extruded fiber cement, phenolic wood and composite aluminum. In addition to the cladding types, the facade also integrates punched window assemblies with the balcony and sunshade features. In using a customized gasketed joinery the project also features a caulkless interface at all panel-to-panel joints.

How do you deliver six enclosed building projects within a period of three months, adhering to an aggressive build schedule?

Through Island’s method of project delivery, fabrication and installation of assemblies were able to take place simultaneously eliminating the waiting period in between manufacture and construction. The wall assemblies themselves were dual-purposely designed to function as both the superstructure and finish avoided turning to traditional construction methods for project delivery.

OVERVIEW

NJIT will be a 3-acre mixed-use residential housing complex that will include computer labs, project studios, a library, student lounges, student government offices and guest houses. Island implemented a scope package defining a “modular” approach to construction seeing that all major components are fabricated off-site in order to meet the fast-track project schedule. When completed, the 214,000 square foot complex will add 600 beds to NJIT’s existing inventory of residential housing.

BUILDING SYSTEM

Island’s scope of work for the project includes the design, fabrication and installation of all buildings enclosures, which will feature load-bearing interior and exterior panelized wall systems. The envelope systems are outboard-insulated and utilize multiple materials--brick, cast-stone, and aluminum composite. Island’s responsibilities also extended to manage the sourcing and installation of the precast stairs and planks, and fabrication of the structural shear wall systems throughout the buildings.
