We successfully secured one of the most challenging spaceframe projects of the 1980’s. The job consists of five geometric structures; two pyramids, two conical shapes and one circular flat spaceframe. It was designed by the world renowned designer, Emilio Ambasz, and has already won multiple AIA design awards.

The project utilized a Omni*Hub spaceframe to create the unique shapes and forms of the botanical garden structures. It used approximately 2,800 struts and 750 hubs. We are proud to have been chosen to be a part of this very dynamic project.
