SGH consulted on the building enclosure design, including below-grade and plaza waterproofing, exterior cladding systems, air and thermal barriers, glazing systems, and numerous roofing systems. Highlights of our work include:
- Reviewing the building enclosure design for airtightness, watertightness, thermal performance, condensation resistance, and constructability
- Assisting with the below-grade waterproofing design and field quality control during installation
- Consulting on the window walls, including participating in design-assist meetings and developing details to integrate them with the surrounding cladding, intersecting balcony waterproofing, and roofing
- Evaluating potential waterproofing and balcony coating options for the stepped facade and helping the team select materials that could work consistently across the varying steps and setback conditions
- Consulting on the roofing, including waterproofing for a rooftop pool and amenity deck
- Developing the testing plan for the facade and observing field testing of the window walls to validate performance and workmanship
- Providing construction phase services, including reviewing contractor shop drawings, responding to requests for information, observing construction, and helping the project team address unforeseen and as-built field conditions
