35 Hudson Yards – Interior Color Custom-Formulated by PPG
35 Hudson Yards, the tallest of the three buildings standing at 92 stories, is a residential tower designed by David Childs of Skidmore Owings and Merrill, one of the most accomplished skyscraper architects in the world.
The interior of the building's podium incorporates more than 25,000 pounds of coated aluminum extrusions that were fashioned into a sleek terrace handrail and balustrade and finished with PPG DURACRON® coating by Keymark Corp., another member of PPG's CAP program.
Working with the designer and with the help of PPG’s color services, PPG custom formulated the interior color to complement the other surface materials used throughout the upscale skyscraper.
15 Hudson Yards – Unique Coatings with Decades of Protection
The first residential tower to open in the development was the 70-story 15 Hudson Yard, which features a dramatic "Corset Tower," designed by Diller, Scofidio + Renfro.
Working in collaboration with Keymark Corp, a PPG certified applicator, the architect and building owner, PPG specially formulated two custom colors—one for the exterior curtain wall and the other for the interior façade.
PPG Duracron was selected for the interior while PPG DURANAR® coating was used on the exterior due to its proven ability to retain original color and gloss for decades, even in the most challenging environments.
Based on 70% polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) resin and proprietary PPG resins and pigments, PPG Duranar coatings meet the Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance/American Architectural Manufacturers Association (FGIA/AAMA) 2605 standard for weathering performance – the most rigorous in the industry.
