The Point LIC, Paragon

The triangular Paragon features a brick masonry facade with terra cotta accents. SGH prepared drawings and specifications for the building enclosure rehabilitation. Highlights of our work include the following:

• Investigating the existing enclosure systems, including reviewing exploratory openings and performing water testing
• Evaluating the existing wall systems and potential energy-saving improvements, such as adding insulation and providing sun shades
• Developing repairs, including pointing, repairing damaged brick and terra cotta, and replicating the existing water table with GFRP
• Designing a roofing replacement and repairs for the existing copper cornice
• Designing replacement windows, storefront, and canopy systems
• Detailing transitions between the various enclosure systems
• Reviewing bids for the building enclosure scope

We provided construction phase services, including visiting the site to observe ongoing construction, reviewing contractor submittals, and helping address field conditions.
