What was the vision?

A completely custom, full-glass conservatory that would serve as a defining architectural focal point for Shinola Hotel and the city of Detroit.

Skyview Detroit took on this massive installation project, which involved cordoning off city streets, craning heavy framing and precarious sheets of glass two stories up, and the precise installation of every pane of glass to ensure proper seals and eliminate leaks and drafts in this space.

Explore the solutions.
