Green design and luxury are combined in Rosewood Court
Located on a 405,560 square feet in Dallas’ prestigious Uptown neighborhood, Rosewood Court is erected as a true example of the ability to combine convenience, comfort and luxury using the highest standards of sustainable architecture. This impressive 19 story multi-purpose structure boasts superb access and premier panoramic views of the spectacular Dallas skyline. It includes first class amenities like an on-site restaurant, fitness center, as well as large and luxurious spaces for commercial, residential and office use. The floor plate is 30,137 square feet. Developed by the Rosewood Corporation and designed in a neo-classic style by HKS Architects, this project was constructed using the highest quality standards by integrating materials that contribute to sustainable construction. “We helped support the “Green Design” effort by furnishing our Energy Glaze™ high performance insulated glass units using Solarban® z50 glass, which also allowed credit for the regional sourcing of materials”, states Alice Dickerson, Sales and Marketing Director for Vitro America. She adds that Solarban z50 is the newest addition to the PPG Solarban line of solar control Low-glass products. It features a steel blue/gray appearance with a minimal reflectance and a high level of visible light transmittance. Greg A. Oehlers, National Architectural Sales Manager for Vitro America, comments that Solarban z50 glass was selected for Rosewood Court after creating full-sized mock-ups of the building with several different types of glass. “Solarban z50 glass emerged as “the clear winner” because it was the best fit from a color and performance standpoint; there was no doubt in my mind that it would prove to be the product of choice after I viewed the full-sized mock-up. The project architect and developer obviously felt the same”, he explains. Rosewood Court also used other sustainable characteristics, including: efficient and natural lighting that lowers energy consumption, a digital energy administration system and a special air unit for fresh air that generates 95% of clean fresh air.
