VS1 SIGNATURE DETAILS
Sloping Sill & Head conditions
VS1 is a stick-built system and our mullions can be cut to any length, thereby accommodating sloping head and sill conditions. The absence of horizontal metal in VS1 curtain walls allows for such sloping conditions to be achieved with a high level of transparency.
Designed by Ayers Saint Gross, CO Architects, Neighboring Concepts; installed by Harmon
The Howard R. Levine Center for Education will welcome visitors with a 30’ VS1 facade on four elevations. Exterior mullions create strong vertical accents.
