This project located in North Bethesda, MD consisted of 800 panels and 133,000 square feet of precast across two hotel towers and a large conference center. The precast on hotel is a combination of an acid-etch finish and sandblast finish; while the conference center also has granite-clad precast.
One of the more unique features is the “missile shaped” trellis column wraps on the conference center. These panels were cast as two pieces and then combined in our yard to be erected as one piece. This eliminated the need for the steel column as our “missile” precast warp acting as the structural support.
This beautiful hotel complex stands alone in the area not only for it hospitality, but also for its architectural grandeur, highlighted by beautiful architectural precast concrete.
