Element Dallas Ft. Worth Airport North
The Element is a four story extended stay following the new prototype from Starwood.
With clean, contemporary styling and lots of built-ins, the framing design and fabrication required close attention to exact dimensions. By designing the project in 3D, every panel was exactly sized to fit. Additional panels for room interiors provided a consistency from room to room not easily achieved with on site stick framing.
StiffWall® shear panels were doubled to give extra support in the 3-5/8" C-stud partition walls.
Joists, metal deck, and concrete were used to support the upper floors. To assist the installers, rim tracks were precut and numbered to match the layout.
Panels are shipped in approximate build order. In about 3 days, each 17,000 square foot level was framed with structural wall panels and floor joists.
