Fairfield Inn

This project is right off IH 37 South and SE Military Dr. on Goliad Rd. right next to the Lowe’s. We just recently completed the suspended acoustical ceilings throughout the building and have started the most challenging part of the project, an aluminum soffit at the Porte Cochere. The challenge lies in the fact that the material from Hunter Douglas is designed for a flat ceiling and as you see it’s nothing but flat. Normally you would just screw the receiver channel right to the curved structure but since the City’s fire codes required the canopy to have a sprinkler system we had to furr down an additional 8″ with 2-1/2″ steel studs in order to get below the cast iron pipes. The edges were trimmed out with a matching break metal. Pretty cool stuff!
