GC Project by Point B Design

Point B Design created this building in Gladwyne, PA, just up the road from Bentley System's Exton Headquarters. The firm has an ongoing relationship with Bentley via Generative Components and were finalists for two awards in 2007.

The entire building was designed in GC for its overall construction, the building was digitally fabricated in China from our model then shipped to site. Point B Design used GC to design and fabricate a steel stair inside the building which is made up of hundreds of pieces, no two the same, and it came in at a cost one third of their original estimate by two fabricators. All of the rain-screen cladding (in which no two pieces are the same) was designed, fabricated, and installed by Point B Design. The rain screen material was also a major win in that it cost no more than flat panels in the end yet the result is many times better for a completely unique façade.
