Novartis Office Entry Enclosure

The glass enclosed entry atrium and glass covered canopy are centerpieces in the design of this Novartis research facility.

TriPyramid collaborated with the glazing contractor to develop the plate beam glass support systems for the canopy, glass roof and walls. The walls are wind-braced by horizontal, steel plate beams, which are, in turn, supported vertically by a series of tension rods. The glass fixing nodes are integrated in the fittings which attach the plate beams to the vertical rods. TriPyramid supplied the plate beams and all associated stainless steel support rods and fittings.
