Exceptional Craftsmanship

Designed by Page, the goal for this Arlington County building form is that it accentuates the gentle origami folds of the park with clean folded lines of the roof visible from I-395 and the air. The intent was on the aesthetics from a metal exterior, while also meeting stringent energy efficiency requirements and accounting for the unique interior challenges that an aquatic environment presents. To achieve this, Alliance Exterior Construction demonstrated exceptional craftsmanship and worked with the Long Bridge Park Aquatics & Fitness Center project team seamlessly. They came armed with knowledge and innovative solutions to bring the client and architects’ vision to life.
