Harvey Commercial windows featured in Boston
A 38-unit apartment project required massive windows to bring light inside while creating a stand-out exterior.
The Walter Huntington Apartments, a mixed-use project in Boston’s Mission Hill neighborhood, turned to Harvey Commercial Solutions for its window needs.
A division of Waltham, Mass.-based Harvey Building Products, Harvey Commercial Solutions provided custom windows to meet architect needs on the project.
Featuring 38 residential units, the apartments required massive windows to bring light inside while creating a stand-out exterior, accompanying metal panels, rich terracotta walls, and brick.
“The client initially requested us to look at windows from one manufacturer, but they were unable to create the factory-mulled sizes we needed," says Mike DelleFave, RA, LEED AP, architect at RODE Architects in Boston. "Several of us had specified Harvey products in the past on projects. We asked them about their capabilities and were pleased to discover they could achieve the exact profiles we needed."
To put the "wow factor" into the building design, DelleFave and his team were searching for 9-0 x 9-0 black painted windows with fall protection limiters. The large vinyl picture windows were factory-mulled over awning windows.
"The Harvey Commercial team was able to handle all our needs for this project expertly," says DelleFave. "Maintaining a high-level design aesthetic was a top priority for us from start to finish. Harvey's ability to accommodate our glazing proposal was crucial to the success and visual impact of the final form.”
