Sparkling Hill Tube Spider

The first hotel project in North America incorporating Swarovski Crystal elements into key elements of its design.

Sparkling Hill Tube Spider

Like the custom Tension Assembly created for Sparkling Hill Resort, the design objective on the three-storey glass crystal atrium was to keep the support systems as transparent as possible.

We needed to create a support bracket that connected the glass at the perimeter of its core triangle shapes to the tubular steel support beams. We created the Tube Spider which had the following features:

• Easy adjustability for positioning
• Quicker install via clamping versus the more labour intensive drilling and tapping into steel
• Easily adaptable to a single or double connection option
