Bridge Tower - 169 Wyse Road
12-Storey residential apartment building located at 169 Wyse Road, Dartmouth
Project Overview
Bridge Tower is a multi-residential development by Zagros Nova Home Developments featuring a comprehensive exterior building-envelope package delivered by Lusso Contracting.
The project combines air and waterproofing, exterior sheathing, windows and doors, insulation, engineered substructure, architectural metal cladding, and porcelain tile into one coordinated exterior envelope.
Lusso managed the integration of the complete façade assembly with a strong focus on weather protection, thermal performance, material transitions, and architectural detailing.
Building Envelope Scope
Installation of 3M air and waterproofing membrane
Installation of exterior sheathing
Installation and integration of windows and exterior doors
Detailed waterproofing around windows, doors, penetrations, openings, and façade transitions
Installation of exterior insulation
Installation of engineered framing and substructure systems
Installation and coordination of clips, girts, rails, and associated façade support components
Coordination of air barrier, insulation, substructure, openings, and finished cladding systems
Window & Door Integration
Installation and integration of windows and exterior doors into the complete building-envelope assembly
Detailed flashing and waterproofing around openings to maintain continuity of the air and water control layers
Careful coordination between glazing, membranes, insulation, substructure, and finished cladding systems
Cladding Scope
Installation of Agway HF12 architectural metal cladding
Installation of Tempio architectural porcelain tile cladding
Installation of custom flashings, trims, corners, returns, and architectural details
Coordination of metal and porcelain cladding transitions
Detailed installation to maintain consistent lines, spacing, and architectural alignment throughout the façade
Multi-Material Façade
The combination of Agway HF12 metal panels and Tempio architectural porcelain tile creates a distinctive contemporary façade with strong contrast in texture, profile, and material.
Careful coordination between the two cladding systems allows the different materials to read as one cohesive architectural design while maintaining the required drainage cavities and building-envelope performance behind the finished façade.
High-Performance Envelope
The integration of 3M air and waterproofing membrane, exterior sheathing, windows and doors, insulation, engineered substructure, metal cladding, and porcelain tile creates a complete exterior envelope designed for long-term durability, thermal efficiency, and weather protection.
Bridge Tower showcases Lusso Contracting’s ability to execute complex multi-material building envelopes while coordinating every layer from the exterior sheathing and waterproofing through to the final architectural façade.
