Project services included testing and evaluation of multiple curtain wall systems, resulting in the selection of a seven-pane glass curtain wall system by Fabbrica measuring approximately 4.5 inches thick. The curtain wall achieves a Sound Transmission Class rating of 45 and supports floor-to-ceiling, full-width glazing while reducing aircraft noise transmitted into guestrooms. Additional measures included specialty guestroom construction, performance planning for the rooftop pool area, and mitigation strategies related to major rooftop infrastructure serving the site.
As a signature element of the acoustic design process, Trinity Consultants conducted laboratory testing of multi-pane window assemblies and performed advanced modelling and simulation within its Immersive Studio. This process allowed the design team to experience simulated guestroom conditions during aircraft takeoff, directly informing the refinement of façade and enclosure performance before construction.
These combined approaches support a hotel acoustic environment that the developer described at the time of the project as among the quietest in the world for an airport-adjacent property — a performance outcome made possible by the integration of façade testing, immersive simulation, and coordinated enclosure design from early in the process.
