Isolar Glas, one of the main European glass fabricator association has granted Tvitec System Glass the “Most Representative Project Award” for its performance on the glazing of 1100 15th Street Midtown Center. This building complex is a Tvitec’s landmark in Washington, DC.

The Isolar Award 2018 to the “Most Representative Project” was handed in to a Tvitec’s delegation during the annual meeting of the German glass association. 

This award will be shared with the main agents of the project development, specially those related to the façade execution: the prestigious architecture office, SHoP, the curtain wall installer, Oldcastle Building Envelope (OBE) and the General Contractor, Clark Construction.
