Hamilton Court Amenity Building

The Hamilton Court Amenity Building reinterprets an under-used courtyard to dramatically improve resident and pedestrian experience. The building provides access to ground floor retail, a gym, pool and hot tub areas, and two levels of terraces. A geometrically-complex, multi-planed, aluminum perforated veil defines the building’s exterior. Floating in front of the building’s brick and curtain wall facade, the veil’s support structure is fastened to exposed sections of the building’s main steel structural frame.

Comprised of over 1,600 individual pieces, CVM worked closely with the veil’s fabricator to ensure the geometry and integrity of all connections achieved the design intent. In addition to supporting the veil, the main steel frame was designed to accommodate the heavy loads presented by the pool and terrace planters. The building’s floor framing was designed to reduce vibration inside the yoga studio, which is located in close proximity to the gym.
