Enclos is proud to share our work on the LAX/Metro Transit Center Station — a striking new gateway to Los Angeles and a major milestone in the city’s evolving transportation network.

Working with Grimshaw and Gruen Associates, Enclos delivered one of the station’s defining architectural features: a sweeping stainless-steel mesh soffit system totaling over 78,000 square feet. Installation required tight coordination and custom rigging — a testament to Enclos’ problem-solving mindset and ex*****on in the field.

Just published in Dezeen — the LAX/Metro Los Angeles Transit Center Station is being recognized as an “iconic entry point” to Los Angeles.

Enclos is proud to have played a key role in bringing this transformative civic landmark to life. Working alongside Grimshaw Architects, Gruen Associates, Arup, and Tutor Perini Corporation, we engineered and built the station’s standout soffit system — 78,000 square feet of suspended stainless-steel mesh, carefully fabricated and assembled through a global supply chain.

This project reflects what Enclos does best: delivering custom facade solutions that are as beautiful as they are complex.

This Independence Day, we’re reflecting on the strength found in collaboration, resilience, and hard work — the same values that drive our teams every day.

This image captures the American flag flying high atop the apex unit being installed at 53W53, a proud moment captured from one of our most technically complex and rewarding projects.

In observance of the holiday, all Enclos offices will be closed Thursday, July 3 and Friday, July 4. Wishing you a safe and restful Fourth of July weekend. 🇺🇸

The National Museum of African American History and Culture rises from the National Mall in a three-tiered form inspired by West African crowns, wrapped in a bronze-toned corona that echoes the ornamental ironwork of the American South.
⠀
Enclos provided design-assist services and led extensive mock-up testing to help the design team find the perfect material and finish for the museum’s distinctive facade. The result: over 3,600 cast aluminum panels, precisely engineered for both form and function.

The corona panels act as a permeable screen, moderating daylight, reducing solar heat gain, and creating a striking visual experience both day and night. At 230 tons, this facade structure is as complex as it is symbolic, suspended from the top of the building by steel outriggers and assembled with efficiency and precision.
⠀
Design-assist was instrumental in making it possible. Learn more about our role in this iconic project: https://enclos.com/project/national-museum-of-african-american-history-and-culture

Glass Performance Days 2025 kicks off today and, while Enclos isn’t taking the stage this year, we’re still pushing the conversation forward.

Rewind to GPD 2023: Enclos’ Austin Bensend took the stage alongside AGC Glass Europe’s Marco Zaccaria to unveil a breakthrough technique that could redefine how we think about glass stiffness and deflection.

Pre-stressing Glass by Elastic Deformation introduces a novel cold warping method that reduces glass deflection by over 50%, without increasing thickness. The result? Enhanced performance and optimized material use for both large-format and ultra-thin glass.

If you missed it (or want a second look), now’s the perfect time to explore the full presentation.

Resorts World Las Vegas is celebrating five years! As the first new mega-resort on the Strip in nearly a decade, it set a bold new standard for integrated hospitality design. Enclos was proud to help bring that vision to life with over 1.2 million square feet of custom unitized curtainwall across its three hotel towers.

From the signature bronze and red metal panel infills to precision glazing and engineered louvers, every facade element was designed to perform in the desert heat while delivering a one-of-a-kind visual impact.

Ten years ago, the Buerger Center for Advanced Pediatric Care at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia set a new standard for healthcare design — and Enclos was proud to help bring it to life.

The standout: a serpentine wall system of over 2,400 custom unitized curtainwall panels, each engineered to fit the building’s constantly shifting curves. A true test of precision and performance, executed with care and creativity.

A decade later, it still stands as a benchmark in complex facade solutions.

Modern building envelopes elevate simple weather barriers to complex assemblies managing daylight, heat and noise transfer. Far from Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s minimalist 1921 “skin and bones” curtainwall concept, today’s steel-framed and glass-clad assemblies rely on integrated building materials, systems and technologies to reduce glare, solar heat gain and operational carbon.

Because every day is Earth Day, Enclos’ commitment to a more sustainable built environment includes regular reviews of the carbon impact of our business practices, initiatives analyzing all life-cycle stages of a curtainwall unit, and multiple Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for curtainwall assembly benchmarks.

We’re excited to announce that Enclos will join Gensler, Turner Construction Company, and Jamie Carpenter Design Associates (JCDA) for a round table discussion at Facades+ San Diego on Thursday, May 22. Together, we’ll explore the innovative facade systems of the new San Diego Airport Terminal 1—an iconic project redefining the gateway to Southern California.

The discussion will spotlight the Luminous Wave Wall, a stunning, light-responsive curved glass facade inspired by the Pacific Ocean. Enclos collaborated with the project team to deliver 365,000 SF of custom facade, including unitized curtainwalls, clerestory windows, and specialty glass systems.

Register now and join us for this insightful discussion on how design, artistry, and engineering come together to elevate the built environment: https://facadesplus.com/

Let’s talk facades, collaboration, and innovation!

A decade ago, Enclos delivered a shining example of precision and innovation with the 34th Street Canopies at the Hudson Yards Subway Station in NYC — part of the first new MTA subway station in 25 years. 🚇

The Site J gridshell, an elegant yet complex stainless steel structure, demonstrates our expertise in crafting custom, specialty designs of all scales. From the free-form ring beam to the precise integration of 5/8˝ heat-strengthened glass lites, this project epitomizes adaptability, superior craftsmanship, and advanced prefabrication techniques.

Project Highlights:
🔹 Materials: High-strength duplex stainless steel and 140 laminated glass lites, engineered to perfection.
🔹 Innovation: Elevated tension cables reduce bird resting, ensuring a clean and safe environment.
🔹 Precision: Complete off-site assembly guaranteed a seamless fit upon installation.

This project continues to inspire as a benchmark for specialty facades. Whether large-scale landmarks or bespoke architectural details, Enclos is your partner for complex, value-added solutions.
