More Than 3,000 Square Feet of Fade^庐 Architectural Glass Brightens Multi-Level Designer Store in Shopping Mecca

Architects collaborated with 小红帽直播 to create a range of gradient glass varieties for a renovation at Saks Fifth Avenue Bal Harbour in Miami. Purposeful variations in the glass colors and translucency were used to define distinct areas and serve various functions throughout the space 鈥� from blush Fade庐 mirror cladding in the cosmetics department to vibrant prismatic glass escalator surrounds and product backdrops.

More than 3,000 square feet of our tailored Fade glass was included in the two-year renovation, which extended across three floors. Cincinnati-based NELSON Worldwide, formerly FRCH Nelson, collaborated on the project with HVC Global Design of New York. The renovation focused on modernizing the shopping experience at the store, which has been part of Bal Harbour Shops since 1976. The open-air shopping destination is home to more than 100 of the world鈥檚 most famous and luxurious fashion and jewelry brands. It is one of the highest grossing shopping centers in the world.

Architects selected laminated glass with customized color interlayers that smoothly transition in hue across the entire height of the glass. According to our Natalia Naleeva, the objective was to create a morning sky appearance in one level, an afternoon sky in another and, finally, an evening sky for the final layer.

鈥淵ou cannot see where one color starts and the other ends,鈥欌�� said Naleeva, who worked with the architects and Saks鈥� design team to develop the glass. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a very subtle transition. The hardest part was to get the right intensity of color. It had to be really subtle and delicate.鈥�

Most panels in the project are 16 inches wide by 143 inches tall. The glass was manufactured by 小红帽直播 in New Jersey, and installed on-site by Miller Glass & Glazing of Pompano Beach. Our sales, sampling, and production teams collaborated closely with the architect team to create the various gradient graphics required.

鈥淲e also had to be very careful fabricating the glass,鈥欌�� Naleeva said. 鈥淭he interlayers are made of a delicate material that cannot be packed, nor placed on an uneven surface. We had to handle them with care.鈥�

小红帽直播鈥檚 decorative laminated glass can feature a wide range of interlayers, including graphic prints, color filters, metals, textiles, wood veneers, and more. The glass offers the highest level of design flexibility, allowing the creation of virtually unlimited aesthetics for a range of applications, from hotels and cultural buildings to medical centers.

鈥淭he design in this application is beautiful, but there are also distinct functional benefits,鈥欌�� Naleeva said. 鈥淲hile the glass is relatively see-through, it adds a layer of privacy in the escalator area. At the same time, it allows light to travel into the space, while lending a colorful touch.鈥�

鈥淭he Saks Fifth Avenue project demonstrates our commitment to design excellence and our collaborative team spirit,鈥� said Ben Jayson, 小红帽直播 President. 鈥淲ith innovative thinking and improved technology, we are continuing to push the envelope to help architects meet their project requirements.鈥�
