MCA TRIBECA MID-RISE FEATURES A UNIQUE METAL ANGLED FACADE

With its striking metal angled façade, the 10-story mixed use 108 Chambers, also called "The Tribeca Rogue" in lower Manhattan’s Tribeca district, is turning heads.

To create the customized, geometric array of angled spandrels framing the windows on the entire façade, metal was selected for its ability to be easily shaped, formed and cut.

The metal facade panels were fabricated by BAMCO and colored with organic resins of pure aluminum. In addition, a highly reactive ink in the metal’s Bronze Deco finish from Pure+Freeform contains varying levels of luminosity which creates an optical texture and glint. The color and reflectivity of the facade changes with the sun's movement throughout the day adding additional dimension to the large facade.

A Metal Architecture magazine Design Award winner, one judge on the panel, Christina Bazelmans, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, an associate principal with Lamoureux Pagano Associates, commented, "This struck me as really interesting. It's innovative, the paneling is bold, and the strong forms are interesting and make an insightful statement about the neighborhood—an all-around unique look."
