SPRINGWOODS MARRIOTT

SPRINGWOODS VILLAGE IS LEADING THE GROWTH OF SPRING, TX INTO THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY, WITH CITYPLACE AS THE FRONT DOOR TO THE NEW EXXON-MOBILE CAMPUS, OFFERING A VARIETY OF USES FOR RESIDENTS TO LIVE, WORK AND PLAY IN ONE PLACE.

THIS HOTEL WILL BE LOCATED ON THE WESTERN END OF CITYPLACE IN SPRING, TX. THE PROJECT INCLUDES A NEW 339-KEY HOTEL WITH ADJACENT PARKING STRUCTURE, STRUCTURED POOL DECK/TERRACE, BALLROOMS/MEETING ROOMS, AND HOTEL DINING FACILITIES.

THE 11-STORY HOTEL INCLUDES A RESTAURANT, BAR, BALLROOMS, MEETING SPACES, FITNESS CENTER, OUTDOOR TERRACES AND AN ADJACENT 3-STORY PRE-CAST PARKING GARAGE. THE DESIGN TEAM DREW INSPIRATION ROOTED FROM THE RAILROAD AND LUMBER INDUSTRY IN SPRING, TEXAS BY USING METAL DETAILING THROUGHOUT. SINCE THE HOTEL IS LOCATED IN A PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT THAT INCORPORATES NATURE, WE HAVE DONE THE SAME INSIDE OF THE HOTEL.

THE PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE USGBC'S LEED SILVER PROTOCOL, PLACING SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON BUILDING ENVELOPE DESIGN AND MECHANICAL SYSTEMS PERFORMANCE.

THE BUILDING MASSING ALLOWS FOR PRIMARY VIEWS TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH, AWAY FROM INTERSTATE 45, WHICH ALSO PROVIDES FOR MINIMIZED WESTERN EXPOSURE TO HEAT GAIN. ADDITIONALLY, THE POOL DECK IS LOCATED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO RECEIVE SUN THROUGHOUT THE SPRING, SUMMER AND FALL.

THE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS FOR THE GUESTROOMS HAVE AN ENHANCED LOCKING SYSTEM, WHICH ALLOWS FOR THE ENTRY HARDWARE TO SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS. THIS ALLOWS THE BUILDING TO UNDERSTAND ROOM OCCUPANCY AND ADJUST THE MECHANICAL SYSTEM ACCORDINGLY IN ORDER TO SAVE ON COOLING LOADS.
