Park Crest is a new luxury residential development in Tyson's Corner Virginia that will eventually include seven new buildings. The first building is called One Park Crest and consists of 335 condominiums in a 19-story high-rise. Park Crest is the latest addition to the list of TOD (transit oriented development) built in anticipation of what is known as the Dulles Line or the Silver Line railway. The site sits on 13-acres of land right in the popular Tyson's Corner in Washington DC's metropolitan area. The Tyson's area is a popular urban setting that includes the "world famous" Tyson's Corner. The site is close to two proposed metro stations -- 
Tyson's Central 123 and Tyson's Central 7. The Park Crest features rooftop pools and sun terraces, gracefully landscaped to create a luxury urban environment. The new community is pedestrian focused with a sweeping central park as the focal point of Park Crest that creates a cool, green, outdoor mall. The building was design by WDG Architecture includes floor-to-ceiling glass along with aluminum, brick, and concrete accents. Kingbird Industries is proud to have been the provider of the pair of magnificent aluminum architectural pergolas located in this central green-space, as well as (3) pool-side pergolas and (5) balcony pergolas, as well as several hundred feet of aluminum balcony railing and aluminum balcony privacy screens.
At Kingbird Industries, we fabricate refined garden structures, pergolas, and trellis work from extruded aluminum to create bold and time-honored architectural statements. The pergola, whose design dates back to ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, is an overhead structure used to make the outdoors more inviting, to extend livable spac
e, to create a shady retreat, and serve as a major landscaping element. Pergolas can extend from a building to an open garden feature such as a terrace or pool, or may be entirely free-standing structures providing shelter and shade to a length of walkway. Transforming the green-space at One Park Crest included the unique challenge of implementing the pair of arch-designed aluminum pergolas over the proposed park. The resulting aluminum structures are spectacular beyond words and designed to last decades. At Kingbird Industries, we welcome the opportunity to create one-of-a-kind designs that make a difference.
The pair of large arched pergolas were each slightly different, with one main impressive 48-foot long structure with an arched trellised canopy and two sweeping side canopies, the other a smaller arched trellis – both mounted on 8ft high brick columns. The large entry pergola was constructed from (8) 4" x 8" x 23 ft. beams fashioned with angles at both ends with (4) 4” x 15” x 16ft. horizontal spans notched into place to create the frame. Then (4) 20’ sections with a 13 ft. radius spanned the side sections with (29) 13 ft. ribs between the radiused or
arched sections. Each segment: the arch, and the two side canopies, measures 16 feet in length, creating a majestic walk-through canopy measuring 48 feet wide. The smaller arched pergola is 16ft x 20 ft. also mounted to 8ft high brick columns, but without the side canopies. The impressive One Park Crest 15ft high arched pergolas, like all Kingbird Industries aluminum projects, were built with all welded construction. We provided a baked on powder coat finish in a standard color with bracketed installation.
The (5) balcony pergolas were each constructed to be 37 feet long and 11 feet high, and with specially positioned support posts determined by the center line between windows secured with chemical anchors. At the pool, (3) 22ft long pergolas were installed to provide filtered shade yet let light and breeze through. All were crafted using Kingbird’s all-welded construction and powder coat finish.
The One Park Crest project also included over 6000 linear feet of 3-line aluminum balcony rail, of which over 1000 lf was radius railing. Varying heights of aluminum 3-line pool
railing from 22” – 85” were installed. 800 lf of 2-line aluminum balcony railing was installed as well as courtyard railing, ramp railing and grip rail. All were finished with 3-coat Kynar for superior resistance to the elements. A large percentage of the railing was being mounted in a precast wall cap. In order to provide mounting hardware that was b
oth secure and attractive, kept the aluminum rails out of the way during the wall procedures, and prevented the need to drill into the precast concrete, Kingbird installed over (600) 4" x 4" steel buckets that our aluminum railing was then mounted to with 1/2" 5" chemical anchors creating a seamless attachment method.
As the finishing touch for the One Park Crest project, Kingbird Industries built 340 balcony privacy screens, with plate aluminum panel construction, a radius top, and 3-coat Kynar finish.
Kingbird Industries worked through Donohoe Construction Company (www.donohoeconstruction.com) on this fine project that demonstrates the quality and versatility in design, manufacture, and installation that we bring to all our aluminum projects. Kingbird Industries has created many such custom-designed pergolas and trellises to add architectural grandeur to the surroundings, complete with engineering seals to guarantee our workmanship over the long haul. The unique requirements involved with transforming the One Park Crest with its many design elements is the type of project Kingbird Industries excels at and is best known for. Custom designs are our hallmark!
