Hello, I am currently studying architecture at City College. This semester we are required to design a housing project. As for precedent study I chose to study 290 Mulberry Place. This site has been the greatest help on how the facade was designed and built. Thank You very much.

There are 2 main panel types that enclose the majority of these two facades, and then about 8 others that make up the eccentric conditions (edges, corners, etc…). They were all created from the same master mold. As for the precaster, they were sent a model, but only for reference. they rebuilt the geometry themselves to make sure it was accurate. The cost is a bit higher than flat precast. Because of the step on the brick, one has to use half bricks instead of thin. Also, the density of the brick here is an issue. FBX type was used which is quite a bit more expensive. Hope that helps.
