Five years ago, Enclos revisited the Moscone Convention Center in the heart of downtown San Francisco to complete an elaborate expansion. Before construction began, the convention center was operating at capacity, but demand for more real estate required the city and San Francisco Tourism Improvement District to seek development alternatives to keep up with competing markets.

Enclos provided design-assist services for the storefront and curtainwall systems. The custom storefront system features a mullion-less design with a glaze of heavy-plate tempered ultra-clear glazing in 15´ tall lites and interior-formed aluminum column covers. The custom curtainwall system is a pre-glazed and unitized silicone-glazed system with vertical and horizontal supporting steel elements. It includes insulated ultra-clear vision and pattern-fritted vision glass. LEED recycled steel material required a special mill and was procured overseas.

PEAK PERFORMANCE | Five years ago, it was a crisp December morning in Midtown, 34° F, calm winds, precisely what the crew of Enclos superintendents, engineers, and Local 580 Ironworkers had ordered. The team gathered in preparation to execute a plan that was months in the making.

The challenge: lifting a 44,000 lbs metal-clad wedge known as Apex 1 to 1,100´ above Midtown Manhattan, and ultimately into its final crowning position at 1,050´ atop Nouvel’s 53W53 tower. Due to its size, Apex 1 was shipped from Texas in two preassembled sections, merged on 53rd St, and staged for its big day... Read the play-by-play at enclos.com/feature-articles/peak-performance

The design of 53W53 utilizes a concrete primary structure to form the diagrid skeleton. This diagrid is expressed in the metal panel portions of the aluminum curtainwall system, slanting across the vision glass portions at many unique angles. The inclusion of the diagrid along with the various slopes, 40+ paint colors and numerous glass colors required extreme coordination between the project team. The facade consists of many unique unit modules, many trapezoidal at intersections of walls, and include large units up to 7´ x 28´6˝ tall. Installing large units in the middle of Manhattan at such great heights in front of a unique structure required several equipment innovations that continue to aid the field crews in safe installation.

20/11/2023

The new Australian Embassy in Washington, DC, is a glass and copper jewel box clad in vertical strips of glass and features large, glazed atrium spaces to draw light into the center of the expansive footprint. The facade features a dozen different wall types, each with unique security considerations.

Enclos was brought onto the project early, before a general contractor was on board, to assist the design team in optimizing the signature facade for constructability and pricing efficiency. This included refining the number of unique curtainwall unit geometries and developing repetition in many unique apex-shaped copper panels. The refinement and optimization occurred over an extensive design-assist phase before moving into production and construction efforts.

The copper panels’ design intends to evoke the colors in the Australian landscape and places such as Uluru, or Ayers Rock. The units required special consideration for material separation to prevent galvanic corrosion. This resulted in a stainless-steel sub-framing element behind the copper panels, which mount upon the aluminum curtainwall framing. The copper panels have a protective coating topped with a clear wax to preserve the copper’s mill color for as long as possible.

The resulting Embassy structure and envelope convey a modern, transparent sophistication while embodying the security considerations of a government building facade.

The journey from concept to reality is a meticulous process. Mock-ups play a crucial role in bringing facades to life. Here's why mock-ups matter:

🔹 Visual Validation: offer a tangible representation of the design, and ensure alignment with the intended aesthetic and functional goals
🔹 Quality Assurance: assess materials, finishes, and construction techniques firsthand, identify potential issues, and fine-tune the design for optimal performance and durability
🔹 Contextual Integration: facilitate a contextual review, enabling adjustments to ensure seamless integration within the environment
🔹 Client Confidence & Satisfaction: instill confidence in stakeholders, reassuring them of the project's direction and their investment

There are many different types of mock-ups in facade construction, and, except Acoustical and NFRC Testing, many projects will include the following mock-ups at different stages of preconstruction:

🔹 Material Samples: guide material and finish selection
🔹 Table-top Mockup: evaluate assemblies’ fit and function, often with 3D printing and simulated materials
🔹 Glass Selection Mockup: select from a variety of manufacturers and/or coating treatments
🔹 Visual Mock-Up (VMU): evaluate the system’s composition and joinery
🔹 Performance Mock-up (PMU): subject specimen to air, water, and seismic testing
🔹 Acoustical Mock-Up (AMU): evaluate the Sound-Transmission Class (STC) and/or
Outdoor/Indoor Transmission Class (OITC) ratings of a facade assembly
🔹 NFRC Test: Standardized testing procedure for energy performance ratings of doors and windows includes U-factor, air-leakage, solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC), and visible transmittance (VT).

10/10/2023

One Steuart Lane is an elegant example of a design/build stone-clad curtainwall and stone assemblies. The facade's design gradually evolved over two years through an ownership change. Once the design-assist process formally began with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, three key design elements emerged for the 20-story residential tower’s enclosure: monumental dimensional stone framing, floor-to-ceil­ing glass, and minimal exposed metal. Dozens of stone types and thicknesses were considered, along with numerous configurations of the terrace floors, during this phase until the final design was settled. There was extensive structural and fire­stopping engineering as part of the design work required in support of the owner’s efforts through permitting.

Enclos designed, engi­neered, and installed the 140,000 square feet of scope, including curtainwall, entrances, storefronts, balconies, sliding glass doors from Reynaers Aluminium, terrace assem­blies, aluminum coping, and wall panel systems. On the ground floor, several notable features include a 24’ tall glass main entry, a point-supported glass canopy supported from glass fins, a custom wood door with cast glass blocks within a bronze portal frame, blackened stainless steel panels, stone cladding systems, and stone baguettes. All systems have tight tolerances to achieve a sophisticated building enclosure.

The Structural Engineering Association of Northern California (SEAONC) recently awarded One Steuart Lane the 2023 Award of Excellence for New Construction. The project was also awarded the Best Residential/Hospitality project in 2022 by Engineering News-Record.

12/09/2023

Five years after completing the original Comcast Center, Enclos was contacted to assist in developing the enclosure for an adjacent second tower at 1800 Arch Street in Philadelphia. Working with repeat clients is always preferable, and in this case, the team included familiar faces from the owner, developer, and general contractor. The project was to be larger, integrate flexible office space, a Four Seasons Hotel, state-of-the-art studios for NBC, and a restaurant located 900´ above the ground. Designed by Foster + Partners, the Comcast Technology Center would rise to a height of 1,121´, replacing the Comcast Center as tallest in the city, and tallest in the United States outside of New York or Chicago.

Enclos provided complete design/build services for all facade elements while working closely with the architect throughout the design phase. The project’s oversized curtainwall units were fabricated and assembled offsite, then shipped in a carefully coordinated sequence to support the firm’s installation crews. Enclos site operations personnel worked closely with LF Driscoll to develop an optimum er****on strategy for the project’s challenging, dense urban surroundings.

This year marks five years since the completion of the Comcast Technology Center and fifteen years since the completion of the original Comcast Center tower. Learn more about both projects at enclos.com –

For projects where domestic supply is advantageous or desired, Enclos has both dedicated fabrication and assembly facilities, as well as qualified domestic suppliers. It is not uncommon for the final assembly to occur within regional proximity to the building site. This layered manufacturing approach provides unparalleled flexibility in delivery.

In , fabrication refers to making and modifying materials, primarily the floating of glass lites, extruding aluminum for frames, and CNC modification of those extrusions. Enclos limits its in-house fabrication to the latter, utilizing a collection of sophisticated CNC machines that allow for a direct file-to-fab workflow.

Following fabrication, assembly occurs when multiple pieces and materials unify into a modular composition. This process includes the fastening of aluminum extrusions to one another to form a frame, structurally silicone glazing of glass to the aluminum frame, integration of other materials such as metal panels, and integration of dry gasket seals that provide air/water performance when interlocked with adjacent modules on a building elevation. Assembly is paramount to the long-term performance of the building envelope system. For this reason, Enclos maintains multiple facilities and talented shop crews across the country to execute this work.

For over 12 years, Enclos has been at the forefront of delivering exceptional solutions with our in-house manufacturing capabilities. Our Chester, Virginia facility has over 100,000 square feet of shop space and 10+ acres with ample room to fabricate, assemble, and safely store materials.

2023 marks 5-years since The Spheres opened its doors. Located on a half city block at Amazon's Seattle's headquarters campus, the building draws inspiration from conservatories around the world to create a home to more than 40,000 plants from over 30 countries. The final design called for three conjoined spherical domes, ranging from 80 to 95 feet in height, each with a different diameter. Providing appropriate daylight levels through the was critical for the plants’ livelihood, so providing a high-performance glass that permitted specific wavelengths of light to pe*****te to the interior was paramount. Achieving a complex geometry with an organic, nature-inspired structural pattern called for a collaborative process between the design team and facade contractor.

The organic architectural vision has repetition within each sphere’s surface, but the challenge to Enclos was to resolve atypical conditions, construct with precision, and install efficiently. From the onset, the relationship between the facade system and the attachment to the primary structure was identified as a key coordination item for both transfer of structural loads and the accuracy of interfacing in construction.

The sequence of operations for the field crew was to conjoin subframes into mega-frames, mount the glazed aluminum cassettes, and lift large pentagonal sections (weighing upwards of 18,000 lbs!) onto the primary structure. As a result of meticulous upfront planning, multiple practice lifts and mock-ups, and the use of laser scanning technology, all frames unified on-site to each other without a hitch.

The completed structure is a fascinating combination of organic inspiration and computational design, bringing a whole world of horticulture to the heart of Seattle.

The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center on Manhattan’s west side has been a benchmark for early space frame structures since its opening in 1982, representing one of the world's largest applications of the technology type. I.M. Pei & Partners flexible glass box design can be divided into nine self-contained halls to accommodate varying-sized trade shows and serves up to 3.5 million visitors annually.

In 2006 a major renovation and expansion was undertaken to meet the demand for additional exhibit space and performance upgrades. With the original 1982 facade showing signs of aging, a reclad program began in July 2010 to replace the entire curtainwall system. Enclos is responsible for this retrofit program, including removing the existing facade and the engineering, fabrication, and installation of new curtainwall and skylight systems.

Designed to achieve LEED Silver certification, the Javits retrofit exceeded current energy code requirements by 25% and dramatically increased building transparency while improving energy performance.

Music City Center is the largest municipal project in Nashville’s history. Celebrating its 10-year anniversary this year, this cultural icon spans three city blocks adjacent to the heart of downtown Nashville, situated adjacent to both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Bridgestone Arena. The project provides ample exhibition space, meeting rooms, and ballrooms inside the iconic, LEED gold certified structure. The extensive use of glass and transparency allow daylight to pe*****te the concourses, creating warm, welcoming spaces.

Enclos provided engineering and construction services for Music City Center’s nine enclosure systems, including: large skylights, a 14-story unitized , cable wall, support systems, punched openings in precast panels, aluminum sunshades, louvers, metal panels, storefront, aluminum doors and glass handrails.

The unitized curtainwall is comprised of 5’ wide prefabricated units up to 25´ tall. The architecturally exposed structural steel and tension rods that span between primary column were provided and installed by Enclos and support the curtainwall in front. The combination of AESS and curtainwall are used to create the soaring atrium spaces, upwards of 120' tall, along Demonbreun Street.

The curvilinear entrance feature celebrates a multitude of structural glass facade typologies, including: the portrait-framed cable wall with point-clamped fittings hovering above 6th Ave, and the patch-clamped insulated glass units supported by built-up AESS along the segmented curved face.
