Noisette Pavilion

Noisette Pavilion in North Charleston, South Carolina.

The Noisette Park Pavilion is a fast-track project completed in June 2005 with the architects at BNIM . Zahner designed, fabricated and installed the entire structure, including all steel elements. The entire project was computer modeled using CAD Software. This project was Design-Assist intensive, meaning that Zahner played a collaborative role in the creation of the project. To facilitate structural analysis and fabrication constraints, a digital model was produced to serve as the Building Information Model for the duration of the project.

The main structure is made of 12” diameter extra heavy pipe rolled to a constant radius and cut to exact compound angles. The 3D model was utilized to produce templates of each cut. The welded frames were hot dipped galvanized post fabrication.

7/8” galvanized wire rope was strung between each frame to serve as a support for the perforated aluminum shading panels. The panels were punched to a custom pattern as defined by the architect to reflect woven baskets that are indigenous to the region.

From initial concept to completed erection, the process took a total of six months. The entire process was streamlined to provide the maximum value to the client and to meet the project budget and schedule.
