“Like many NADAAA projects, the building has an expressive envelope system. Panels of varying color and reflectivity play with light during the day and night. The coloration is calibrated to accentuate the height of the building, while an LED lighting system on an upper-level terrace “produces a dramatic lighthouse effect.”

NORTH CURTAIN WALL GOING UP AT BEAVER

The expression of the vertical curtain wall framing members is pronounced before the glass is installed and remains clearly visible on the interior.
However, the final exterior expression of the north facade is to suppress all vertical framing by using a structural silicone joint. The horizontal joints are awaiting their custom profile caps.

ROCK CREEK HOUSE FEATURED IN THE PLAN

“The same clean-cut order, distribution and formal rigor given to the north and south facades also apply to the interior. The layered plywood that lines walls, partitions off environments and makes up the signature staircase is fully in keeping with the far-reaching structural transformation of the building.”

“Complex forms were obtained by taking sectional cuts reproducing the outline, which when set side by side generated both the structure and the surface area of the piece. The modeling and design engineering phases also took traditional woodworking practices into account. Similarly, the smooth, continuous flow of the wood veins on the panels was achieved by visualizing the joints on the 3D model. The natural phenomenon of wood expansion also had to be taken into account for the more complex plywood pieces on stairs and the top-floor landing, Movement is controlled by special sliding joints placed strategically along the linear handrails.”
