Big River Glass (BRG) completed a unique and technically advanced commercial project for Gulf Coast Bank, Elmwood, LA, in late 2024.
This project was completed in partnership with one of our most trusted general contractors, Faulk & Meek General Contractors, and designed by the architectural firm EskewDumezRipple.
A Unique Architectural Design
The building features a striking architectural layout – almost resembling the shape of a football when viewed from above. The structure incorporates a dramatic radius curtainwall system that defines the building’s modern aesthetic.
Radius curtainwall installations are rare and require exceptional craftsmanship, precision, and field expertise. Our team executed the curved system with skill and attention to detail, delivering a finished product that reflects both structural integrity and architectural vision.
Hurricane Impact-Resistant System
Because this project is located in a hurricane impact zone, BRG installed YKK AP America Inc.’s impact-resistant curtainwall system, engineered to meet stringent coastal and storm-performance requirements.
This system provides:
- Structural strength
- Hurricane impact protection
- Long-term durability
- Energy-efficient performance
Industry Recognition
We were proud to see this project featured by YKK AP on LinkedIn, highlighting the craftsmanship and unique design of the installation. It’s an honor to have our work recognized by one of the leading manufacturers in the industry.
A Project We’re Proud Of
From the radius curtainwall to the hurricane-rated system integration, this was a very unique building and a standout project for our team. It showcases the level of expertise BRG brings to complex commercial glass installations.
