How and where glass is used
How glass is made and what it offers
The 75,000 square metres façade features a curtain wall that is double glazed to allow for a high solar protection on neutral-looking glass.
The new-build façades are predominately brick-faced, with punched windows to reflect the surrounding context.
Curved glass, punch windows and precast stone panels make up the envelope on a figure-of-eight footprint.

Description of the project
CSX East transformed an underutilized area in the Capitol Hill Navy Yard corridor in Washington, DC. Its unique design deftly integrates a hotel and two residential buildings with four elevated glass clad pedestrian bridges.
The façade features terracotta colored metal panels on the apartment buildings and blue metal panels for the hotel. The neutral appearance of SunGuard ® SNX 62/27 on clear glass works well with both color schemes, creating cohesion across the project. The glass also meets thermal performance requirements, helping to secure LEED ® Gold for the residential buildings.
