One Flagler, a 25-story, 285,000-square-foot office tower in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida, was developed by Related Ross and designed by SOM (Skidmore, Owings & Merrill). The property highlights Solarban R77 Acuity glass by Vitro Architectural Glass.
Project details
Calibrated for Florida’s warm climate, One Flagler boasts a high-performance facade featuring Solarban R77 Acuity glass which was used on deeply recessed windows designed to prevent direct sunlight while allowing natural light to enter. This sustainable design reduces thermal energy penetration and cooling costs. With its reflective silver-blue surface and neutral interior appearance, Solarban R77 Acuity glass enhances modern architecture, improves clarity and provides natural views.
Ideal for facades and curtain walls, Solarban R77 low-e glass has the ability to showcase reflectivity and capture the visual characteristics of the sky and ambient environment. When paired with Acuity low iron glass by Vitro, the combination provides a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.25 and visible light transmittance of 49%.
The burnished white concrete trellis facade, combined with Solarban R77 Acuity glass, gives One Flagler a distinctive and elegant visual identity. The glass’s reflective properties not only reduce glare but also blend with the coastal skyline. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Solarban R77 Acuity glass is functional, minimizing solar heat gain to lower energy consumption across the tower. Sunlit interiors can be found on each floor with natural daylight, reducing the need for artificial lighting and fostering a healthier workspace for tenants.
Other key features include a 19,000-square-foot landscaped terrace with ocean views, a restaurant offering indoor and outdoor dining, and a park, reflecting pool and plant wall.
