Panel cladding HOLIDAY INN MANHATTAN FINANCIAL DISTRICT

composite materialaluminumvertical

The Holiday Inn Manhattan-Financial District lights up the Wall Street neighborhood with its brilliant metal-paneled façade. With tourism flourishing in Lower Manhattan, the well-appointed budget hotel was designed to meet current market demands while maximizing the floor and area ratio and the number of guest rooms. To achieve the design intent, increase the size of the guest rooms and maintain the project on budget, the façade composition was redesigned from an original of concrete masonry units and masonry to one featuring a much more slender exterior wall clad in Reynobond® 4mm FR Composite Material over an engineered dry-seal gasket system with metal stud framing. The Reynobond® Composite Material in a Colorweld® 500XL Champagne Metallic finish was perfectly aligned, with metal panel joints spanning upward to 467 feet. Installed with a dual vertical and horizontal pattern, the panels stress the gradual setbacks of the architecture.
