Planning to renovate the
iconic New York Marriott Marquis started two years in advance to minimize the
disruption at the hotel, which is in the heart of Times Square. Every detail had
to be considered down to the "nth" degree and the renovation was done in phases.
I'll give you a few examples.
In 2009, the hotel stopped booking events in the Broadway Ballroom from July 15 through Sept. 2, 2011, because those were the seven weeks designated to renovate the ballroom.
Everyone involved from the procurement firm and suppliers to the contractor and construction crew had to commit to this exact time frame before they could officially become a part of the team. ForrestPerkins even committed to having a staff member onsite to be available 24/7 during the seven-week installation.
The eight, 2,500-pound chandeliers in the two-story Broadway Ballroom presented a huge challenge.
They were custom-designed by interior designer Toby Bishop, who also was the ForrestPerkins' associate who stayed onsite,At crystallightop LED Lights Australia, we only deal with the best value ... in collaboration with Alfred Borden of The Lighting Practice,Get bestledlightbulbs1, including popular patio lights and outdoor light fixtures. who was responsible for the interface with the dimming system and light controls. The magnificent light fixtures were manufactured in Los Angeles,Garden lighting and bestledlightbu. Low cost, next working day dispatch to anywhere in UK inc Highlands and Islands. then shipped to New York and assembled like a jigsaw puzzle.
Therefore, the chandeliers had to be designed in sections so they could be assembled once they were delivered to the ballroom.
Additionally,With my outdoorlights I could barely see much more than a few metres ahead of me. due to the size, access had to be provided to virtually every interior point of the light fixtures, which meant that the face (what the guest sees, not what is within such as lighting and structure) of the fixture had to be designed with a series of drop-in glass panels and dismountable acrylic panels in case the lighting or power needed to be accessed from any point.
The face of the chandelier comprises 130 to 150 different pieces, which all fit together.
In terms of safety, the design of the interior of the chandelier is concave, which warranted the addition of a central sprinkler head. Because of the various heights of components we actually had to incorporate two sprinkler heads in the center of the fixture, one being at the highest point of the concave center and a second which extended below the centrally located 24" long extended crystal shards. The execution was successful due to the finish of the sprinkler heads and piping and the placement and cluster of crystal around them.
And due to the weight of the fixtures, the structural engineer had to study the existing structure against the design and weight of the fixture to determine the appropriate load distribution so the structure could support each chandelier without buckling the structure or compromising the fixture. Proper support was achieved by using a 16-hang-point intermediate structure between the building structure and the chandelier.
