Nitehawk Cinema LED Facade, USA
Caliper Studio is an integrated design office and metal fabrication shop located in Brooklyn, New York. They have designed, fabricated and installed the custom zinc and glass façade for the Nitehawk Cinema and Apartments.
Though primarily known as Wiliamsburg’s only first-run movie house, this project is in actuality an expansive 23,000 square foot mixed-use building with three floors of residential apartments above the cinema, bar, café and commercial kitchen below. All of the apartments have access to outdoor space in the form of private roof decks at the penthouse level and shared courtyard access for the floors below. Caliper Studio designed all phases of the project from the earliest design studies through the construction process.
In addition to designing the theater and apartments, Caliper Studio fabricated several major building components, including the steel and glass residential lobby floor, the linear awning element and the signature zinc and cast-glass LED facade. Images courtesy of Caliper Studio.
