The brief
Built for Houston's wind.
A sixteen-story student-housing building in Houston, where the building code asks windows to stand up to a stronger wind than New York's does. The Vi6 windows were engineered to it: at the corners of the facade, where the wind pulls hardest, they carry a wider mullion.
