Description
The Mandate
One Arlington Apartments was once the home of Sheraton Chicago Northwest hotel. With the help of the architects at Pappageorge Haymes Partners, the old, shuttered hotel was revitalized into a lively apartment building.
The Challenge
The architects needed a breathable system to screen several mechanical louvers on the front of the building. The system needed to fit their design intent while still meeting open-area requirements for the mechanical systems.
Solution
The Haver & Boecker Wire Weaving team was able to meet all requirements for the One Arlington project with their wire mesh. Haver & Boecker Wire Weaving architectural mesh offered a system with reduced visible anchors and seams between panels, while also being able to provide woven panels large enough to cover 3,200 square feet. Combined with meeting the opening requirements for the building, Haver & Boecker Wire Weaving wire mesh was the perfect design solution.
To reduce visual transparency from the street but still allow for direct airflow, the Haver & Boecker Wire Weaving team decided to use the very versatile EGLA-Twin 4253 wire mesh. A standard tensioning system was used with flat tension profiles, clevises, and springs.
The Result
The mesh adds an attractive integration into the building design and the collaboration was a complete success.
