Nike Flagship Façade – Design, Engineering and Testing

Vos, Daniel A.

For their flagship store in New York City on 5th Avenue, Nike is realizing a visually dynamic façade incorporating carved and slumped insulating glass units. Their concept for a lenticular membrane combined with monumental graphic patterns required a research and design phase to develop a suitable material solution, followed by a rigorous verification process during a compressed retail project schedule to confirm the custom carved and slumped glass product would meet the project's aesthetic goals and performance requirements. This article details the process undertaken from Design Concept, to a Prototype, through Design Documentation and Bid, on to Full‐Size Visual Glass Mockups, Material Testing, Performance Testing, and Production Control Sample review. Façade installation is expected in the 3rd quarter 2018, with project completion January 2019.
