One of the first projects completed by Crystal Structures in 2017 is the glazed structure at the Indianapolis North Marriott. And what a great project to start the year!
Backstory
The Marriott was due for an upgrade, as all hotels need from time to time. Â This hotel, located at River Crossing, has some very nice public spaces for guests including the back patio overlooking the lake. Unfortunately, the patio can be quite chilly. Â So as part of the upgrade it was decided to add a glazed structure to enclose the patio.
Over the winter months the transformation took place. Â Working in freezing temperatures, the curved structure was framed and glazed. The structure stretches 42′ along the wall of the hotel and is up to 38′ deep. Â The structure is curved to match the existing patio foundation. Â Glass is a dual pane laminate and tempered laminate with a blue tint. Â The entire structure is built to the same stringent codes for public structures and has live loads of 25 lbs and 90 mph winds.
Today patio is a comfortable place to take in the view of the lake and surrounding area. Â It’s also a great addition to the hotel, providing more space for special events without worrying about the weather. Â View the progression photos below and contact us for a quote on your next project.
