320 South Canal, also known as the BMO Tower, is a 51-story landmark office tower located south of Chicago Union Station. At the heart of this marvel are the tower’s signature V-shaped structural transfers. Behind these metal-clad columns lies a captivating 3-story vertical structural glass podium façade that engages the ground floor of the building to the plaza.

Büro Ehring provides structural engineering and building envelope consulting services for the metal cladding of the (6) V-shaped structural columns, enhancing both the east and west facades of the tower. Additionally, we conducted structural engineering peer reviews for the vertical glass podium wall of laminated glass panels and fins, including its portal frame structures, glazed revolving doors, and their connections to the main building structure.

Situated in the heart of SoHo, 38 Greene Street stands as a historic landmark, characterized by its cast-iron architecture. This office building has recently gone under a transformation with a two-story vertical extension upgrade.

The penthouse’s parametric steel and glass enclosure was meticulously crafted with emphasis on its structural design and optimization, form-finding, and constructability. Derived from the language of the historical context, the project’s modern facade design seamlessly integrates with its timeless charm.
