Angels Grace Farm Indoor Arena Project Details
Location: Barrington Hills, IL
Architect: John A. Blackburn
System: LIGHTWALL 3440
This private indoor riding arena was constructed so that it could also be linked to the property's existing barn. To maximize the equestrian arena's energy-efficiency, the architect leveraged the use of natural light with EXTECH's LIGHTWALL 3440, a translucent wall system that is fully recyclable. The LIGHTWALL 3440 has undergone a battery of flammability testing, which also made it an ideal facade system for this project.
Translucent wall systems offer many benefits, including energy savings via daylighting, outstanding insulating value, and can be used for new construction or retrofits. The diffused daylighting they provide minimizes glare and solar heat gain.
