InterContinental Hotel, Atlanta, Ga
Precast Facade Brings Elegance to Buckhead

The Intercontinental Hotel stands as a flagship hotel with an architectural precast exterior system that matches the look of stone. The owners chose precast for the economy of the materials and the speed of construction. Along with desiring the look of stone, architectural precast also offered the ability to get larger panels with a similar texture and appearance. Integrating the panel designs with a sculptural aesthetic and incorporating accent panels of natural stone within the precast were key design challenges.

Technical Notes: The speed of construction was a major factor in choosing architectural precast over stone because two-story panels could be erected at one time.
