Del Ray Tower: Custom Commercial Grade Rooftop Trex Pergolas

Project Overview:

UDR, Inc., a leading multifamily real estate investment trust, specializing in luxury apartments, wanted to provide two defined spaces on separate rooftop patios for residents and guests at the new Del Ray Tower in Alexandria, Virginia. Each outdoor living design area had distinctive needs. The lower rooftop patio was intended for outdoor entertaining and socializing where residents could cook on gas grills or dine al fresco while being shielded from the sun. The upper rooftop recreation area incorporates seating with shady and scenic views of Alexandria and Washington, D.C. Each pergola is equipped with integrated lighting for around-the-clock use. Structureworks was able to provide low-maintenance Trex Pergolas helping to delineate each area while adding shade and architectural style to each space.

Challenge:

UDR, Inc. wanted to create two areas where residents could socialize and entertain day and night with the option to cook or enjoy beautiful views of the city. Structureworks addressed the following challenges:

Solution:

Structureworks worked with Recreation Dynamics to create two custom Trex Pergolas which allowed for defined areas with added shade and high wind resistance for both rooftop patios. We came up with a few simple solutions.

Benefits:

With beautiful skyline views of Alexandria and Washington D.C., residents and guests enjoy a perfectly shaded rooftop patio with seating. On the lower patio, entertaining becomes a breeze with our shade structure leaving cooling shade over double grills. Low-maintenance materials and minimal upkeep makes sure to keep these two areas looking clean, cool and ready for more dining.
