Fairmont Pacific Rim

Designer: Coordinated Hotel Interiors (CHIL); James K.M. Cheng; McFarlane, Green and Biggar Architecture
General Contractor: 299 Burrard Development Ltd.
This luxury hotel project had 20,000 square feet of walnut paneling, reception desks, meeting rooms, ballrooms with six foot wide doors, eleven feet high and sixteen foot high paneling, a round column up to thirty two feet high and a corian and oak paneled restaurant. All of this layered with the challenge of getting such a large project complete for the start of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games (the duration of which it was fully booked). Everything from the sourcing of materials to installation was a just- in-time effort with little room for error.
