Sparkling Hill Resort

A dazzling, sparkling crystal!

Sparkling Hill Wellness Resort and Spa

The twinkling glass was designed to be the centerpiece at Sparkling Hill Resort in the form of a three-storey crystal-shaped glass atrium.

Creating a structural glass crystal was a challenge; we worked in collaboration with Cannon Design and the glazing contractor from the initial design stages to solve.

Key issues included:

  • Glass was seated on multiple and varying planes to create a crystal-like sparkle
  • Site location on the top of a mountain meant extremely high wind loads (approximately 4.5 kPA)
  • Design objective to maximize transparency
  • Tight project timing meant design had to go from initial concept to install in approximately 8 months.

Working with Erdevicki Structural Engineering, we created a tension cable support assembly that supported four panes of glass at its meeting point and featured the following benefits:

  • Matrix based on the inherent stability of a triangle
  • Pre-tension to loads up to 40kN and tested to loads up to 100kN
  • Provisions for positive and negative wind loads, temperature fluctuations, and building movement by deflection in the design loads
