May 2, 20196 yr further construction of the interior northern facade. I am concerned that the detail will look nothing like the renderings have proposed.

These cannot be compared. The rendering is at dusk when the facade is backlit. In daylight in the second pic the windows reflect the exterior surroundings.

May 2, 20196 yr I was hoping that they would be a little you know... thinner? Also where'd the folding go? Are they going to actually cascade these pieces or are they gonna try to use different hues to make the perception of folding? Edited May 2, 20196 yr by tastybunns

Lol that was the lamest 'sneak peek' ever, woo clickbait Fox8. Lets show them renderings, and the interior that the public already sees daily and boom we got ourselves something people will click on!

Yeah really.. although I will say it gave a little perspective on the scale of the atrium.
June 4, 20196 yr Cleveland.com's facebook page has a couple of better walkthrough videos of the interior work being done. https://www.facebook.com/clevelandcom I am saddened to see that most of the "folding" detail has been removed from the curtain wall construction. It also was mentioned that the finish is now brushed aluminum rather than the golden brushed color. It just doesn't feel very refined anymore earthcam construction update Edited June 4, 20196 yr by dave2017

The photo is not a great representation of what the final product will be.

I added some photos above from the interior tour and I don't see any dimensional folding on the curtain wall past the northeast entrance section. It appears flat. The spacing and panel sizes are odd to me Edited June 5, 20196 yr by dave2017

I can only assume there was some last minute horse-trading around construction costs in order to finalize the financing deal between the Cavs/public. Edited June 4, 20196 yr by ASP1984
June 4, 20196 yr ^Is that the finished product? It looks like there is still a covering on it. Much like the panels on the face of the Beacon tower, they want to protect the finishes as long as possible. Edited June 4, 20196 yr by Mov2Ohio
June 4, 20196 yr Maybe It's just a moveable curtain, so they'll push them together to make them look folding, idk...
June 5, 20196 yr Regarding the color of the panels. I think the rendering that we are familiar with that shows the panels appear to be gold, might be the way they will appear when they are illuminated by the LED lights which can be programmed to any color. Here is a not so clear screen grab from one of the videos that appears to show the panels as chrome which is how they are described in the video as their original color.
June 5, 20196 yr Except this is what was presented to The City Planning Commission and approved December of 2017. Very different than what was rendered to sell the design. I am ok with adjustments but not when it comes to the public financing the project. Also, does anyone know what Cliffs Cleveland and Sherwin Williams are paying for naming rights to the atrium entrances? Will this money be used directly to lower the cost the City and County are paying or does this go directly into the pocket of Dan Gilbert?
June 5, 20196 yr ^Yeah that's definitely not brushed aluminum. Guess we will have to wait and see when they are uncovered
June 6, 20196 yr I realized why I am struggling with the adjusted design of the curtain wall panels. They are too similar in to the design of The Global Center for Health Innovation's exterior panels.
June 6, 20196 yr Y’all we have to change the title of this thread to “Cleveland: Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse”. ?

June 25, 20195 yr It appears that the protective film has been removed off of the northeast section of the interior curtain wall. I still feel it is very different than the proposed renderings look and feel
June 25, 20195 yr FWIW, I went to the 'Fieldhouse' construction camera site (https://www.theqtransformation.com/) and my browser refused to load it, said it was an attack site. It's has always loaded reliably in the past. Remember: It's the Year of the Snake

June 26, 20195 yr the rocket signage is atrocious. what a dumb name. it looks like its for the type of cheap, shady mortgage company that is angling to screw you out of a house. even a little eye catching rocket logo up there or something would help. i know, houston rockets, but just something better designed. the rest of the rehab seems alright though.

June 28, 20195 yr Crossing the road feels dangerous again. I didn't realize how much that divider (and two less lanes) of traffic made it feel.
July 31, 20195 yr The Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse signage was installed along the new atrium. I remember they stated the "O" in Rocket was supposed to be a solid led circle that could change graphics as to what was going on inside. The installation appears that this no longer will be happening.
July 31, 20195 yr This building will have an entirely different vibe as night approaches and the glass wall dissolves away leaving the curved panels of the atrium front and center.

August 13, 20195 yr Not sure how to classify this. It's somewhere between a renovation and a new building altogether.
August 13, 20195 yr Cleveland-Cliffs with a sponsored entrance? That’s a new use of marketing dollars for them...cool!

August 14, 20195 yr That was hard to read, Does the Scene actually write positive or unbiased pieces ever? I used to love reading the Scene, now i avoid it like the plague.
August 14, 20195 yr Sam Allard is single handedly ruining it. It's as if they took one of the cleveland.com all star commenters and hired them as a journalist. He must be a hero to all those people. Edited August 14, 20195 yr by jam40jeff
