Yesterday, our team celebrated the ribbon cutting of Armani’s flagship store in New York, attending the unveiling of the new retail and restaurant located on the first floor of the COOKFOX-designed Giorgio Armani Residences at 760 Madison Avenue. Inspired by the historic context of the Upper East Side, the building is attuned to the craft and materiality of Madison Avenue’s luxury character and to Mr. Armani’s legacy approach to modern, refined design. At street level, the fa?ade harmonizes with the materials, rhythms, and patterns of the historic Upper East Side and forms a new modern landmark, while the entirety of the building was designed with a focus on natural materiality, health, and wellness. Designed in partnership with SL Green Realty Corp. and Giorgio Armani.

We are playing a key role in the construction of the 1393 York Avenue located in the Manhattan’s Upper East Side, a new residence for medical students, where we are crafting a wide range of fa?ade types, one of which will feature a complex matrix of terracotta tiles. Terracotta tiles – what are they? Terracotta tiles are specialized architectural components crafter from clay. In the specific of the 1393’s facades, they will be cut and assembled into the frames in a set order, to add a distinct charm to the building’s appearance. We took this attention to detail even further, in order to meet the architect’s precise requirements for joints alignment, by minimizing assembly tolerance, and implementing a systematic control system to monitor the exact position of each tile, ensuring the highest degree of flawlessness throughout the entire fa?ade. ? Achieving this type of aesthetic requires a rigorous process. Each terracotta tile undergoes through careful cutting, sorting, inspection, and assembly. Our dedicated team oversees every step to guarantee an accurate execution and prevention of errors. #IntercomFacades #Manhattan #TerracottaTiles #BuildingFacades
