LOUIS VUITTON 11
LOUIS VUITTON
Location: Marina Bay Sands, Singapore
Design: Peter Marino
Shading Skin Consultant: FTL Design Engineering Studio
Pavilion Design: Moshe Safdie
OVERVIEW
A prestigious international project, Eventscape was part of a highly collaborative
team who worked together to engineer, fabricate and install a series of custom
sun shades throughout the 46,000 square foot glass pavilion.
DESCRIPTION
This extraordinary island crystal pavilion is luxury giant Louis Vuitton’s newest
store in Singapore. Located in the beautiful Marina Bay Sands development,
it is the first Island Maison in Southeast Asia. Louis Vuitton brought in
internationally acclaimed architect Peter Marino to design the store interior
from the ground up. The design reflects a nautical theme, consistent with
both the location and the brand’s historical association with travel.
The main challenge for the design team of Peter Marino and FTL was to
manage the light levels within the all-glass pavilion and to protect the luxury
goods from harmful UV damage. The solution was a series of over 300
unique framed panels with a UV-resistant membrane skin. Covering a total
area of 25,000 square feet, each custom sun shade is almost 20 feet long.
Two different architectural textiles, one made of PTFE and the other glass
fiber with polymer coatings were used to achieve the specific translucencies
required on the walls and ceilings. Extremely durable and easily cleaned, the
panels allow consistent diffused light and are positioned so that visitors are
still able to access spectacular views of the surrounding Marina Bay. Tensile
architecture specialists, FTL Design Engineering Studio from New York, were
contracted to develop the design of the shading system and Eventscape
worked with all parties to make the shades a reality.

CORUS
ENTERTAINMENT INC.
Location: Corus Quay, Toronto Headquarters Building, Toronto, ON
Design: Quadrangle Architects Limited (Base Building: Diamond Schmitt Architects)
Photography: Richard Johnson
OVERVIEW
Quadrangle’s designers brought Eventscape into the project at an early stage
to provide custom architectural fabricated solutions for a number of elements
that combined function and fun over eight floors in the interior space.
This resulted in a collaborative design/development process that allowed
both parties to explore multiple options throughout the space and provide
innovative solutions to Corus.
DESCRIPTION
This high profile 500,000 square foot commercial building on Toronto’s
lakefront is a dynamic space that successfully consolidates all of Corus’s
Toronto-based broadcast operations. With over 1,100 employees in
open concept offices, it highlights color, textures and artistic forms in an
environmentally friendly facility.
In the entrance lobby, the large curved Corian wall elegantly displays the
current 27 brands under the Corus masthead. The custom reception desk was
built of Corian and fiberglass with integrated lighting to create the sculpted
organic form. An undulating ribbon feature winds throughout the atrium space.
Constructed of aluminum frame with a supple polyurethane covering, the
design was inspired by the iconic spiral in the company logo. At each end, the
ribbon transforms into a color matched custom metal bench, also fabricated by
Eventscape.
At each floor’s elevator lobbies, Eventscape fabricated and installed acoustic
perforated metal curved ceiling panels. In the 8th floor lounge, we created
the custom textile ceilings, Corian bar, and awards display cove — all with
integrated lighting. In the theatre, custom acoustic ceilings and wall panels
were installed which incorporate stainless steel trims in the horizontal reveals.

OVERVIEW
A suspended three ringed metal canopy with integrated lighting above the
main reception counter serves as the dynamic entry-point in the soaring
three-storey atrium of the hospital’s 77,000 square foot expansion.
DESCRIPTION
The architects designed an elliptical brushed aluminum canopy over the main
reception counter. The three ringed canopy covers an area of 22 ft. x 28 ft.
All rings were laser cut, rolled and welded with aluminum fins as connecting
plates and hand polished. The outer ring has an 8 in. x 12 in. profile with a
reveal to incorporate the cathode lighting. The canopy was suspended using
a combination of nautical stainless steel rigging and custom concealed
stainless steel mounts.
26 ST. JOSEPH’S HOSPITAL
ST. JOSEPH’S
HOSPITAL
Location: Paterson, NJ
Design: Francis Cauffman Architects
Photography: Halkin Photography LLC/Todd Mason and St. Joseph’s Healthcare System
OVERVIEW
As part of the hospital’s expansion project, a dynamic new main lobby was
envisioned - one that would symbolize the global reach and technologically
advanced care the hospital offers.
DESCRIPTION
This renovation and expansion involved three separate elements provided by
Eventscape: a Globe feature, Acrylic Media Wall and double curved Ceiling Panels.
The large 30 ft. x 30 ft. media wall is composed of an array of custom acrylic
lighting units set at various depths. The interior LED lights are networked to
function as an abstracted video wall capable of running any standard video feed.
The dramatic 20 ft. diameter Globe feature was originally designed as a geodesic
sphere of metal framework with a fabric membrane covering. Working closely with
the architects, Eventscape proposed options to achieve this form using alternative
materials and techniques. Each colored acrylic cube is precisely placed to create a
giant glowing globe, complete with all continents and polar caps.

CI FINANCIAL
Location: Toronto, ON
Design: Straticom Planning Associates Inc.
OVERVIEW
This project involved consolidating a number of office locations into one
premier building over several floors in downtown Toronto. Eventscape
engineered, fabricated and installed an impressive metal grid ceiling feature for
the main reception area, which depicts the central design theme.
DESCRIPTION
The suspended metal grid in the reception establishes a defining formal
pattern for the new office, which is later repeated in a smaller scale at the
elevator lobbies and in the 9th floor common space. Eventscape acted as the
common point of coordination for all trades working on the ceiling. This was
accomplished through a combination of CAD and physical templates which
were installed to establish geometries as an early phase of construction. The
final installation was prefabricated using a custom metal system which
combined repeating sections with unique CNC cut brake-formed nodes to
create this dramatic 30 m x 10 m feature.
42 WATERLOO TOWN SQUARE
WATERLOO
TOWN SQUARE
Location: Kitchener, ON
Design: Netkin Architect
OVERVIEW
To attract additional clientele, this downtown upscale mall went through an
extensive upgrade and renovation that included vertical and horizontal ceiling
features, enhancing this contemporary environment.
DESCRIPTION
Eventscape collaborated with the architect to develop a number of custom
suspended sculptural ceiling features. Constructed of aluminum frame, some
with an architectural mesh textile covering, and some without, each form is
a complex rectilinear “gem” with multiple facets. Both horizontal and vertical
features were used. The vertical features are sculptural elements of angled
frame appearing to grow out of the solid angled planters below.
GTAA INFORMATION KIOSK 45
GTAA
INFORMATION KIOSK
Location: Pearson International Airport, Toronto, ON
Design: ZAS Interiors
OVERVIEW
As part of the corporate rebranding of the airport, a new information kiosk was
required. This dynamic, eye-catching solution, installed in the main terminal,
features the vibrant brand colors — a beacon for visitors to the facility.
DESCRIPTION
The architect’s original design concept called for a lightweight canopy hung
from the ceiling. However, since suspension was not possible, Eventscape
developed a free-standing 30 ft. x 30 ft. canopy, with angled columns
supporting a 5 in. x 5 in. aluminum tube canopy. To maintain the architect’s
request for a floating look, significant cantilevers were incorporated, supported
by a minimal number of columns. Lateral bracing was avoided by using
moment connections at the base of the columns. The free-standing design
was easily adapted to the lower ceilings of the second location in Terminal 3.

US OPEN
VIP LOUNGE
Location: Flushing Meadows, NY
Design: Gensler
OVERVIEW
A VIP lounge area was required to support both the annual US Open
tournament and ongoing functions at the National Tennis Centre in NY. The
cantilevered-styled canopy structure was built of an aluminum ribbed frame,
clad with powder coated aluminum panels. The bars and tables are of a similar
construction with additional backlit acrylic inserts. Clean curved lines, sleek
finishes and a minimal color palette produced an impressive, contemporary
styled entrance feature, visible from the exterior.
DESCRIPTION
Multiple materials were utilized in this 82 ft. long and 20 ft. deep canopy
structure: rolled, CNC cut aluminum frame, aluminum panels, faux leather,
acrylic and tempered glass. Lighting, audio and media components were also
incorporated. As a cost effective, lightweight solution for the canopy, faux
leather cladding was used on the ceiling, matching the white metal panels
in color and aesthetics. Minimal integrated ceiling lighting provided a club
atmosphere while up lights offset the smoothness of the canopy surface
against the exposed building structure above.

Design: Westlake Reed Leskosky
OVERVIEW
A massive renovation that solved an acoustical problem with the use
of meticulously detailed faceted steel walls, yet preserved the 1920’s
ornate Italian renaissance-style architecture of the space.
DESCRIPTION
The Allen Theatre is one of eight performance venues in this, the largest
performing arts center in the US outside of New York City. The renovation
involved transforming this large theatre into three smaller spaces. The
historical significance and ornate architecture was preserved to create
a multilayered contrast of styles and materials while solving a number
of technical issues of sight lines and acoustics. Eventscape’s team
engineered, fabricated and installed the faceted, perforated steel walls
that cover a surface area of over 2,400 square feet. The perforated panels
act as a visual scrim, with the acrylic backing and precise angle of facets
providing accurate sound reflection.

DEDICATED FABRICATION TEAMS
Eventscape mobilized a fully customized and scalable pod based
manufacturing process for this project, utilizing two shifts to
maximize productivity. A CNC dual head miter saw was used
to ensure accuracy and control checks were conducted after
each stage to ensure a consistent high quality was maintained.
Custom tables were used during fabrication to fully support the
textile. This system allowed the textile to remain on one plane in
a single orientation as it moved through all stages of fabrication.
DIGITAL SITE MEASUREMENTS
Due to the complex geometry of the building, Eventscape conducted a digital site survey in order to create a detailed 3D
model. This was used to design both the panels and the mounting system, to ensure accuracy and ease of installation.
Eventscape’s model information was also used by all partners as a tool for design development and to coordinate the
installation of many different elements.
PROTOTYPE AND PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
CUSTOM HARDWARE
FTL designed an innovative edge detail for the panels - the first of
its kind - that would provide proper tensioning and maximum light
penetration on the frame edges and corners. A full prototype
phase allowed for a complete assessment of the panel design by
all project team members prior to fabrication. Through the course
of this fast track project, a highly collaborative design process
with FTL allowed Eventscape to accelerate production and
complete the project ahead of schedule.
Working directly with FTL, Eventscape’s engineering team
designed a custom machined, site specific mounting system
able to address the dimensional variations unique to that building
type. This system allowed for repeating panel types, while
still retaining tight, even tolerances throughout by permitting
movement in all axes. The ceiling panels were hinged, with a
cable mechanism to allow controlled access during maintenance
of the skylights above.
SUCCESSFUL RESULT
Celebrities and VIPs from all over the globe attended Louis Vuitton’s grand opening of this new luxury island maison, a prestigious
international gem.
“We definitely understand that the end quality of a completed project rests on everyone on the team and
as such we are careful to work with proven contractors who exhibit quality in their execution. Your team
lived up to your reputation and we look forward to recommending your firm again in the future.”
INTERNATIONAL LOGISTICS
Precise coordination of the fabrication, shipping and installation teams facilitated a staged schedule based on just-in-time delivery.
Each week, 50 panels were air shipped in wood enclosed custom steel crates wrapped in polyethylene. Each panel was skinned
and pre-tensioned with a film covering to prevent any marking prior to shipping. Custom waterproof protective shipping bags
were designed to remain on during installation. This allowed the panels to be mounted at an earlier stage of construction, thus
shortening the overall production schedule. Upon reaching this island site via boat, each panel was off loaded and installed within
minutes by the contractor. On site supervision was by Eventscape.The final stage was to remove the coverings.
Nicholas Goldsmith, Senior Principal FTL Design Engineering Studio
“I greatly enjoyed working with your team. I don’t believe that it could have gone any smoother...will
certainly recommend you for future work and will keep communication open for future collaborations. I
hope to do work with Eventscape again, your studio is truly top notch.”

TEMPLATING THE WORLD
Flattening a map of the world and overlaying it with a cube
globe allowed the designers to designate which color each cube
should be.
MEDIA WALL
As envisioned by the architect, the acrylic media wall
was built of engineered metal framework and a variable
depth mounting of over 300 translucent acrylic boxes.
Inside each box lies the programmable LED light system
for an ever-changing wall of abstract images and colors.
DOUBLE CURVED CEILINGS
PROTOTYPING
ASYMMETRICAL CURVES
In the development of Eventscape’s projects, prototypes are frequently required to test materials and lighting effects. This assures clients that
these custom elements will perform as per their specifications.
Detailed 3D drawings allowed us to perfectly match the
curvature of each panel to the asymmetrical curved site.
The challenge for the Multi-Purpose room ceiling panels was that it
involved aluminum sides with a textile bottom in a three-dimensional
curved shape. To obtain a clean tight fit for the textile with no exposed
fasteners, we created several prototypes and mockups. The final solution
was the development of a new metal insert component, engineered to
curve in both directions.

was finished in brown patina and the corners were hand rolled to
fit the compound curves of the wall opening faces.
CUSTOM SOFA
BACKLIT GRAPHICS
An impressive 14 ft. long custom organic-shaped sofa covered
with embossed leather greets the visitors to the center. Precise
templates and careful pattern matching were required to create
the complex curved form and flawless finish.

CASE STUDY
CHALLENGE
To create a signature facade that would be contemporary yet also
evoke a classical solidity and scale, to achieve the look of stone slabs
without the weight, and create a transitional look from day to night.
SOLUTION
Several solutions were utilized for the patio: prefabricated columns
were designed to be lightweight; a waterproof membrane
encapsulated the base structure; a custom clip system allowed
for attachment of panels with no visible fasteners and the panels
were custom CNC cut aluminum with custom powder coat finish.
COLUMN FEATURE
This light feature of overlapping metal panels includes a glowing
classic graphic skin base.
PRE-FABRICATION
Pre-fabrication allowed for uniform construction. This modular
approach allowed all electrical connections to be pre-wired inside
the panels.
LIGHTWEIGHT CONNECTION
All structure connections were designed to reduce weight due to
site limitations.
PATIO DESIGN
BEAMS AND CANOPIES
STRUCTURAL FRAMES
Light gauge steel framing was used to minimize overall
structure weight.
The beams were enclosed similar to the wall panels. Ceiling
canopies tie down to the beam around the center trough for
water management and seasonal architectural textile skin
directs water down to the trough and away from building.
The newest location in downtown Toronto has a much larger
patio, continuing the panel LED outline lighting utilized in the last
two locations.
GLASS UP-LIT BAR
The translucent glass top allows an even glow across the entire
105 square feet. The bar has an aluminum panel front and bar
shelf unit with lockable storage.
LED LIGHTING
LED lighting was pre-wired and mounted to drop-in trays. Each
removable back-mounted panel needed a consistent reveal line to
provide an even indirect glow. The signage was fully integrated into
the custom panel construction.

SPIRAL DOWN
CASE STUDY
In order to have each panel lock precisely into the next, the
installation had to start from the top of the feature and work
down in a spiral, in horizontal tiers. Each of the 11 facets
weighed over 800 lbs.
CHALLENGE
To retrofit a new complex faceted glass and CNC cut metal
custom structure on an existing substructure without any
concrete datum points to reference.
SOLUTION
Coordination was key in this project. Eventscape’s design
engineering team created and installed a master template
complete with laser sweep vertical references for multiple
on-site trades to follow. This ensured a successful construction
of the wood substructure in preparation for Eventscape’s new
mirrored glass and metal bar feature. Each of the 135 panes
had its own unique cut path, and had a specific location on the
frame assembly, maintaining a fixed relation to each other. The
glass tiled together with a maximum clearance of 1/2 an inch
between panels.
COORDINATION
To accommodate existing site conditions, a series of scaffolding
starting one floor below the lobby was found to be the best
solution for installation.
INSTALLATION
MOBILE DIVIDERS
Laser sweep eyelids were placed at the top of the template
to provide a base line reference for building out the wood
substructure and for installing each of the 11 ladder frames.
The glass was laminated with a PVB interlayer to meet code
requirements, with custom milled solid aluminum shoes to lock
each of the 130 panels into the ladder frame as determined
by the frame cut path. Each one was unique and fit precisely
under the panel above. The laser lines eliminated any need for
tape measures or levels on site.
FRAME
Water jet cut 1/2” aluminum and laser cut spiral custom light
halo made up the frame. The wood substructure was built on
top of the existing framing of the previous bar.
Eventscape fabricated 75 identical powder coated, flip-milled
MDF panels with a knockout pattern and an aluminum frame.
Anchored to the existing base building I-beams, the track allowed
them to nestle into each other with a foot-operated friction stop.
DISAPPEARING ACT
Given a design criteria of disappearing front bar faces, Eventscape
engineered a simple counterweight and pulley system to hide and
lock the liquor bottles.

US OPEN VIP LOUNGE
VERTICAL SUPPORT
CASE STUDY
To minimize permanent changes to the existing building, the
canopy structure was laterally supported with only seven vertical
sections of 2” x 2” H.S.S that attached to the ceiling.
BAR FEATURES
CONSISTENT HORIZONTAL PLANE
The curved aluminum panels needed to maintain a consistent
horizontal plane along the entire 82 foot length. To control the
radius, a series of aluminum ribs backed the panels within
the overall framework. The 1/8” thick flat aluminum panels
were backed with an MDF substrate, which facilitated surface
continuity, improved acoustics and fastening.
DESIGNER’S RENDERING
The start of the process.
The longer 32 ft. bar served as the beverage and food service
area while the shorter 16 ft. long “interactive” bar included
16 inset iPads with custom software. Both bars had glowing
backlit acrylic faces and were finished with an automotive grade,
catalyzed, gloss white coating for an extremely durable finish.
This same finish was used on the adjacent boomerang shaped
concierge desk. On the back wall, monitors displayed live action
video feed throughout the event.
MONOLITHIC APPEARANCE
To achieve the designer’s intent of an extruded, monolithic
structure, all materials required invisible joins. After assembling
all elements on site, each aluminum panel had only a 1/16”
reveal and incorporated precise electrical and mechanical
connections. Transitions between each material were visually
uniform and maintained the illusion of a solid, one-piece
structure. At the portal to the interior support facilities, backlit
acrylic ceiling panels create a glowing entrance.
SUCCESSFUL RESULT
SITE COORDINATION
The metal canopy structure wrapped around the drywall walls
of the interior kitchen and washroom facilities. These were
being built concurrently with the Eventscape structure so it was
imperative to maintain detailed site coordination.
With a very tight timeline for fabrication and installation,
together with detailed site coordination with all the other trades,
Eventscape was able to produce what one visitor called ”….the
best venue on the US Open grounds by far”, and the client
described as “….the best thing we've ever done in retail — the
best branded site I've seen”.

ALLEN THEATRE
EAST SIDE SCREEN
WALL
CASE STUDY
PRECISION
CHALLENGE
Following an initial site visit, a detailed 3D model was used
to engineer and manufacture the screen walls. Panels were
fastened to structural steel tube framing, which clipped to existing
steel columns in the auditorium. Since each panel has a unique
geometry and location on the wall, each was tagged with an ID
system developed to track and locate it. The entire assembly
was dry-fit in Toronto, before being dismantled and shipped to
Cleveland. This ensured that the installation was completed rapidly
with accuracy and precision, accommodating all other adjacent
elements in the space.
The challenge was to create a faceted, perforated metal wall that
was acoustically reflective, while acting as a visual scrim that can
reveal or hide the original ornate interior finishes of the theatre,
depending on which side is lit.
SOLUTION
Eventscape’s design and engineering team created a 3D model
of the space consolidating the architect’s 2D CAD sections and
elevations. Working closely with the acoustician, the angles of the
facets were adjusted as needed to disperse the sound accurately.
The two side walls consisted of 2400 sq. ft of 300 unique, brake
formed, laser cut perforated steel panels. 75% of the perforated
panels are backed by a clear copolymer sheet, which reflects
sound. The scrim effect was achieved through a combination of a
gradient of perforations, from 28% openness to 46% openness at
the top, and lighting installed behind the walls.

The Eventscape team provided the optimum solution for attaching
the two materials. Over 10,000 1/8" diameter weld studs were
applied by hand using a laser projected grid pattern for placement.
Custom laser-cut clear washers were then hand tightened over
corresponding holes in the copolymer for each panel. The slightly
oversized holes in the copolymer sheet allow for differential
movement between the perforated steel and the copolymer.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
REPLACEMENT AND RECYCLING
Eventscape conducted extensive R & D to ascertain the best
solution for attaching the specified clear copolymer to the back of
the perforated metal. The original solution of fully laminating the
two materials using a clear, medical-grade, UV cured, epoxy glue
failed when the assembly was subjected to temperature changes.
The result is a visually unobtrusive mechanical attachment,
which is also demountable, providing ease of panel replacement
and allowing for separate recycling of the two materials at the
eventual end of the life of the screen wall as an added bonus.

screen wall and ceiling and wall panels — were fabricated from
different materials and required a different fabrication solution.
SOLUTION
Eventscape utilized their expertise in 3D design/engineering
drawings, CNC cutting, brake form metal and individual templating
to fabricate each structure. This provided a contiguous solution,
seamlessly flowing from one structure to the next.
METAL SCREEN WALL
Forming one side of the entrance to the model suite, the
irregular laser cut, brake formed steel screen is a myriad of
complex connections, each one unique.
FACETED WALL
This 17 ft. curved faceted wall was finished with CNC cut high gloss lacquer-painted MDF panels. Small hinges were used to position
and connect the panels to the interior ribbed frame, achieving a floating appearance. Using 3D modeling, this flexible connector allowed
the designers to precisely map the panels in reference to the existing surface in order to secure a continuous reveal between them.
SEATING NICHE
To create this complex geometrical structure, CNC-routed vertical
and horizontal ribs were built to match the profile.
COMPLEX SURFACING
CNC-cut templates were used to miter cut the foam and panels,
which were then covered with rich red wool textile.
CEILING AND WALL PANELS
INTERIOR FRAME
SITE RESTRAINTS
To achieve the irregular angled planes, a combination of
tilted brackets, adjustable mounting hardware and aircraft
cable was used to install the aluminum frame and textile
wall & ceiling panels.
The faceted wall was built using a CNC-cut wooden interior
frame. Vertical and horizontal ribs were connected in an egg-crate
configuration translating the 3D computer model into the complex
curved profile of the wall.
Standard double doors required each element to break apart
in small sections and be bolted together on site with custom
plates, which became a distinctive structural detail.
FACETED STAINLESS STEEL
The reception desk’s faceted surface was fabricated with brake formed mirror finish stainless steel panels. Eventscape used
strategically placed custom stand offs and a blackout layer behind the panels to create the illusion of floating facets. Using the same
technology and matching the faceted wall, each panel had precise reveals.
