989 Sixth Avenue
Midtown Manhattan

A skyscraper that reaches an important milestone... and hides a great design challenge.

Designing iconic buildings with integrated HVAC systems means finding the right balance between aesthetics and functionality.

Thanks to the collaboration between C3D Architecture and EPHOCA/INNOVA USA, overlapping glass slats were designed to give the building a grille-less look without compromising performance.

“Working together with Ephoca, we created overlapping glass fins that give the building a grille-less look. It was great to partner with Ephoca to find the harmony and design of HVAC efficiency. - Dan Damir Sehic, Partner at C3D Architecture -

The project integrates our Vertical Stack, demonstrating how architecture and HVAC systems can coexist in perfect harmony, invisible from the outside, yet essential for indoor comfort.
