The Harry Parker Center revitalizes a section of the Charles River in Boston with a sustainable design that earned the Harleston Parker Medal. The project features two buildings, with the main one clad in Parklex Prodema wood panels that integrate with a shading system to reduce energy consumption, combining functionality and aesthetics.
Parklex Prodema wood cladding employs cutting-edge technology to create hygienic surfaces. It eradicates 99.9% of bacteria, including Staphylococcus Aureus and E. Coli, within 24 hours, thereby minimizing the risk of transmission. Its resistance to chemicals safeguards against cleaners, prolonging its lifespan while preserving its visual appeal.
Designed by Foster + Partners, 50 Hudson Yards stands as New York’s fourth-largest commercial building, covering an area of 2,899,000 square feet. The building features 58 bathrooms, each equipped with waterproof wood paneling sourced from Parklex Prodema, chosen in collaboration with the studio. These panels not only provide moisture and fire resistance but also play a significant role in the building’s attainment of LEED Gold certification.
The Tianjin Juilliard School, designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, consists of four pavilions linked by glass bridges, incorporating classrooms and practice rooms. The architects worked alongside Parklex Prodema to choose wood panels for the exterior facade, with the Rustik finish complementing the natural surroundings.
