Development Watch: Schermerhorn House Gets Its Skin

schermerhorn-house-031408.jpg
A reader sent in this photo of the progress at the Schermerhorn House over the weekend. "The weird thing is that some of the slats (the majority actually) look
like they're semi-obscured glass," he writes. "Could be a protective film that has
yet to be removed, I guess." In the meantime, we can only assume that the applications are pouring in by the thousands for 100 affordable units in the building; the deadline is April 30.

No, the horizontal glazing is called "channel glass," and the translucent elements are meant to be translucent. The horizontals that appear clear are meant to be clear.

Does a nice job of providing a lot of diffuse natural light without sacrificing privacy, and creates a subtle and beautiful facade pattern...
