Site Building
-Lever House
-Architects: Skidmore, Owings & Merrill
-Lever House is one of the first glass office buildings in the US.
-This building was created by a curtain wall which is made of blue-green heat-resistant glass and stainless steel for an economical and aesthetic purpose. It prevents dust from entering the building and reduces cooling costs by applying heat-resistant glass. This project tried to make the best use of the building’s 360-degree curtain wall by integrating space that would allow users to have privacy while still having access to sunlight in their work area.
