RITZ CARLTON HOTELS
Boston's Local landmark building had been deemed unsafe due to loose
fragments on exterior walls and had massive sidewalk bridging in place
for several years prior to this project. Previous recommendations included
removing all face brick from the building and installing additional
substructure which would have required replacement of all interior finishes. In New York, FacadeMD conducted a survey of exterior walls, from ground, setback roofs and swing scaffold to identify and analyze deteriorated conditions, leading to preparation of construction documents for restoration work. FacadeMD also assisted in detailing for new construction at the top of the building, assisted in bidding and filing processes, and performed periodic visits to the site during construction. FacadeMD professionals administered extensive renovation and modernization of this structure, originally the St. Moritz Hotel, including the replacement of cracked and displaced face brick, the replacement and stabilization of existing terra cotta ornamentation with new GFRC and cast stone to match the original, pointing of deteriorated mortar, and repair of corroded structural steel.
In New Orleans, FacadeMD performed similar investigative and analytical services leading to construction documents detailing recommended repairs to the locally-beloved former Maison Blanche department store.
