Please describe the project specifications
The clients building is located directly across the street from one of California’s most famous beaches. However, their building was old and in need of updating. The client wanted a contemporary design feature that updated the overall impression of their building as well as providing shade in the center courtyard.
What is unique or complex about the project?
We felt this was award worthy! This was a formidable engineering dilemma in its design and a challenging installation. Working with the client we recommended hypar shade sails (2 points high 2 points low) as they engineer better with the wind loads needed for this very windy beach side location. The installation of this solution gives this older building a beautiful contemporary feature while providing the shade solution the client was looking for.
