Hana America Corporation
2007 Tilt-Up Achievement Award Winner :: Retail Division
Submitted by: CON/STEEL Tilt-Up Systems
Schedule was one of the primary reasons Tilt-Up was selected for this retail, restaurant and office project. By utilizing Tilt-Up, the building was able to be constructed during the winter months so the project could be complete for the tourism season. Beyond schedule, Tilt-Up was selected for the insulating values the method offers as well as its low maintenance properties.
Located on an extremely tight, narrow site in downtown Niagara Falls, panels had to be formed on casting beds and an oversized crane was utilized to accommodate the long reach.
To complement the owner’s Korean heritage, the building features an Oriental motif with angled façade panels as well as stepped and offset eaves. The stone veneer with concrete Tilt-Up presents a bold, massive appearance to a small footprint. Soft cream and beige colors were used to create a warm and inviting look for the fine dining that is available in the restaurant.
The unique design is all concrete including the façade panels and the cast-in-place furring with insulation provided a drywall ready interior.
