Buildings in the US with Schuco Windows and Doors
When building large scale commercial and residential buildings the aesthetic, functionality, and longevity of the windows and doors is of extreme importance. Schuco’s design capabilities, functionality and aesthetics make them an ideal partner of architects designing stunning buildings. If you can dream it, most likely Schuco can build it.
All Schuco window, door and facade parts, from the frame to the mechanical window and door opening hardware are made by Schuco’s parent company Otto Fuchs. There is no standard size or shapes of Schuco windows and doors, every door is made to exact specifications required by the architect and builder.
Windows and doors that excel in commercial situations more than hold their own in residential applications.
Following is a list of commercial and residential buildings in the US that utilize Schuco’s windows, doors, sliding systems and facades.
Zaha Hadid's 520 West 28th Street
Zaha Hadid’s project in New York City is a residential building that gracefully coexists with High Line Park, an old railway which has been converted into a linear openspace.
Located directly adjacent to the High Line in West Chelsea, the 11-story 520 West 28th contains 39 residences with 11-foot ceilings. Utilized, are 10-foot wide motorized windows by Schuco with distinctive curved glass detailing.
56 Leonard St, New York, NY
“The most alluring addition to the downtown skyline in decades.”—Justin Davidson, Architecture critic, New York Magazine
56 Leonard St is designed by Herzog & de Meuron. The building utilizes Schuco’s AWS 75 BS.HI system. The Schuco windows are large format and they can be opened manually which is a rarity in high-rise buildings. Some windows can be tilted for ventilation, others can also be fully opened by the façade cleaning team in order to clean the external façades.
220 Central Park South, NY
220 Central Park South combines an 18-story building called "the Villa" that sits comfortably amongst its comparably-sized neighbors facing Central Park and a 950-foot "Tower" rising behind it.
40 Bond St
40 Bond Street is a luxury residential project in Manhattan’s Noho district.
40 Bond St was designed by Herzog & de Meuron and Handel Architects. The building captures the past glamour of Bond street’s rich history.
The exterior is described “as if it’s a wet cast iron skeleton dipped in sugar,” giving it a luminescent quality that changes throughout the day.
The Schuco windows are floor-to-ceiling operable.
