Rising 24 stories and encompassing 800 rooms, the Loews Kansas City Hotel, crisp, modern, minimalist look was designed by Cooper Carry Inc. It is illuminated through Tubelite Inc.’s curtainwall, window wall, entrance and interior aluminum framing systems.
Those who enter through Tubelite’s Wide Stile Entrance systems are greeted with natural light during the day and vibrant views at night. The interior scope of the project, installed by AGP Inc., features Tubelite’s INT45 Interior Flush Glazed Framing and Medium Stile Entrance systems, which help define the interior retail and restaurant spaces.
On the hotel’s exterior, Linetec applied a 70% PVDF resin-based Duranar architectural paint coating in Arcadia Silver. On select aluminum interior framing members, Clear, Dark Bronze and Black Class I anodize finishes were specified.
In the majority of the hotel rooms and meeting areas, Tubelite’s 2.25-by-6-inch 900RW Series Therml=Block Window Wall system with split mullions facilitated pre-glazed panels for expedited installation. Together, the high-thermal performance glass-and-aluminum framing products keep guests comfortable and support the hotel’s energy-efficient operations.
The project used Tubelite’s 400IG Series Curtainwall, 400CW Series Curtainwall, 900RW Series Therml=Block Window Wall, INT45 Interior Flush Glazed Framing and Medium Stile Entrance systems.
