Project Description:
This project was given the Awarded of Excellence in the Architectural category at the 2011 Ontario Steel Design Awards. Tresman Steel fabricated and installed structural steel for two (2) long-span pedestrian box-bridges, a vehicle inspection canopy, and a security fence. The following write up appeared in Advantage Steel the fall 2011 issue:
In keeping with the overall plaza design concept, finely detailed
AESS walkways evoke rows of arbours found at the local wineries. Security fences were created as vine-growing trellises by suspending recycled plastic-wood on steel tension rods spanning between the main AESS members. All the steel framed inspection canopies are edged in aluminum sunshades with central skylights over each lane, evoking rows of greenhouses found throughout the region.
