505 State Street features the city’s first all-electric, or fossil fuel independent, residences.
Clad in a unitized curtain wall with triple glazed units, the tower’s tectonic qualities is accentuated by black aluminum rainscreen panels whose profiles sweep along the tower’s height, creating a play of light and shadow on an urban scale.
The tower’s acute corners, large panel sizes, and material variety presented a particular challenge in detail design and construction sequencing.
