Arena Stage Façade Washington DC

This custom timber structure supports a 650 foot long curved cable-suspended glazed façade. Each of the 18 massive elliptically-turned Parallam columns are tipped with a custom shaped 350 lb casting and is tilted at 4 degrees from vertical. The 50 foot high columns not only support the suspended array of Parralam glazing members, but a 500 foot long cantilevered steel roof structure as well.
