3 INFLUENTIAL CURTAIN WALL PROJECTS -- While curtain wall may just look like ‘a wall of windows’ to the average person, we in the industry know how unique and varied these structures can be. Over the past 75-years, we’ve had the privilege to fabricate and install hundreds of unique curtain wall systems from an undulating dynamic façade set atop a 71-story skyscraper to an intricately patterned glass enclosure set inside a large public library. Each project comes with its ow...n set of challenges, but also gives our team the opportunity to engineer new, creative solutions. The Paul Hastings Tower is one of the twin 52-story skyscrapers designed by AC Martin & Associates. The historic buildings were built in Downtown Los Angeles in 1972. In 2016, Giroux Glass team was tasked with upgrading this tower at the 51st and 52nd floors to better suit the needs and aesthetics of a new, high-end tenant. Overseen by GC Pankow Builders, our scope included replacing old pieces of bronze glass and granite blocks with a custom 12,000 sq. ft. Arcadia curtain wall system outfitted with ultra-clear, low-iron Starphire glass.

How Glass Design Supports a Residential Revolution We are living in the midst of a ‘residential revolution.’ This is not the kind of revolution where people take to the streets quite the opposite, actually. This one is all about leaning into the comforts of home. Yes, we’re talking about the widespread shift to a ‘home-based’ lifestyle that has become the new normal. While many of us have been conducting a growing number of daily activities from home for several of years, ...the transition to this way of life has hit overdrive in the wake of COVID-19. Now, an unprecedented number of people are not only working from home, but also exercising, socializing, going to school, engaging with entertainment, and beyond, all within their own living space. From an architectural standpoint, the already-growing trend of multi-functional home design has become more relevant and urgent than any could have imagined. The home-based ‘future’ is no longer hypothetical; it is real, and it’s happening now. https://girouxglass.com/how-glass-design-supports-a-reside/

Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It is a means of unifying workers and recognizing the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country, and a holiday that resonates with the teamwork and spirit of Giroux Glass as a Union shop and being employee-owned. Today most people in the U.S. think of Labor Day as a noncontroversial holiday and it should be. The o...bservance and celebration of "the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations" of the business and community is how Giroux has been so successful through our 70+ years in business. It is appropriate, therefore, that the nation pay tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so much of our nation's strength, freedom, and leadership - the American worker. Happy Labor Day!
