Narrow 25-Foot-Wide High Rise Puts the Squeeze on HVAC Engineers & Contractors
Sandwiched between two buildings on a tiny Midtown Manhattan site, the ACI challenged a blue ribbon HVAC team led by consulting engineering firm, Ove Arup and Partners, New York; mechanical contractor, Center Sheet Metal, New York; and indoor air quality equipment manufacturer, Dectron Internationale, Roswell, Ga.
Raimund Abraham, an architect at Atelier Raimund Abraham and a professor at New York's Cooper Union School of Architecture, designed the building for planner/developer, Bundes lmmobilien Geselischaft (BIG), Vienna, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Republic of Austria. Construction consultant, Hanscomb Inc., New York, acted as BIG's domestic representative.
