Project Spotlight! Huma Rooftop at The Grand Hotel, Punta del Este Perched in a prime location with panoramic views of the iconic Playa Brava, Huma Rooftop has become the first rooftop bar on the east coast, offering an unparalleled luxury experience and cutting-edge design. With a capacity for 120 people, Huma stands out not only for its elegance but also for its commitment to using state-of-the-art materials. The Grand Hotel Punta del Este, home to Huma, is a benchmark for luxury and comfort in the region. With 118 rooms, a world-class spa, diverse culinary offerings, and the new Grand Center—a multifunctional space for corporate and social events—the hotel is one of the most prestigious destinations for visitors to the Uruguayan coast. Now, with the addition of Huma Rooftop, the level of sophistication has been elevated even further. Its innovative design is inspired by subtle, undulating shapes that reflect a maritime aesthetic, and it stands out for its use of titanium and other high-quality materials. One of the most remarkable features of this project is the use of our SentryGlas? laminated glass interlayers in the exterior railings. Thanks to its incredible transparency, the railings blend seamlessly with the landscape, offering an uninterrupted view of the sea. Moreover, SentryGlas? ensures excellent strength and safety, even in post-breakage situations, providing peace of mind without compromising the architectural design.

Flashback Friday! TWA Hotel, New York Repurposing Eero Saarinen's iconic TWA Flight Center, originally constructed in 1962, the TWA Hotel opened in 2019 after an extensive renovation. It now boasts 505 rooms, 50,000 square feet of event space, and a variety of restaurants, bars, and shops. The two low-rise hotel wings flank the original terminal, respecting its historical significance while offering guests a modern, luxurious stay. A key feature of the project is the extensive use of unitized curtain walls, covering 78,000 square feet. These walls are designed to support large, heavy glass panels—each weighing up to 1,700 pounds and measuring nearly 10 feet tall. The vision glass plays a crucial role in ensuring both sound insulation and visual harmony with Saarinen’s mid-century design. The multi-layered curtain wall, incorporating laminated and triple-glazed glass, significantly reduces the sound from nearby aircraft and traffic, achieving just 30db inside the rooms, despite external noise levels reaching 80db. In addition to its remarkable acoustic performance, the glass fa?ade serves as a neutral backdrop that enhances, rather than competes with, Saarinen’s architectural masterpiece. This thoughtful integration allows the hotel’s contemporary wings to reflect the elegance of the historic terminal. Notably, the system was designed to meet the specific needs of the hotel, including minimizing light leakage for guests, particularly flight crews, who require complete darkness for rest. The result is an impressive balance of aesthetic design, modern engineering, and functional comfort, all while preserving the integrity of one of New York’s most iconic structures.
