Vertical cable wall design with ¾” stainless steel cables from Pfeifer Cable Structures and custom stainless steel nodes from Nupress Group. Oversized low-iron glass lites of 1” tempered laminated glass from Schott North America.


This bold cable wall design by Goettsch Partners stretched the limits of modern day engineering by introducing 10’ wide by 8’-6” tall monolithic laminated glass lites suspended only by vertical stainless steel cables. The combined efforts of the team assembled by Trainor Glass made this impressive wall a reality in July of 2009, giving the owner, The John Buck Company, a sleek and transparent entry way into their latest development.
