BUILDING PROJECTS
CAROUSEL GAZEBO AT NEMACOLIN
PRESERVING HISTORY WITH MODERN DESIGN
Nemacolin sought to create a custom-designed gazebo to house and protect a historical carousel, blending nostalgia with modern engineering. Our team was engaged to provide full land development services and prepare building permit plans, ensuring the structure was not only functional and safe but also a centerpiece attraction that enhanced the resort’s cultural and recreational offerings.
Project Scope for Carousel Gazebo at Nemacolin:
-
Structural design of gazebo to house historical carousel
-
Electrical design for carousel operation and supporting systems
-
Site lighting design for safety and ambiance
-
Development plan and finished grading plan
-
Stormwater management plan with narrative
-
Erosion control plan with narrative
-
Landscape plan to integrate the gazebo into the resort grounds
HONORING THE PAST, ENGINEERING THE FUTURE
The historical carousel required a protective structure that would preserve its integrity while inviting guests to enjoy its charm. Our structural design ensured the gazebo could withstand environmental loads while providing an open, welcoming aesthetic.
Infrastructure That Enhances Experience
We designed electrical systems to power the carousel and its supporting amenities, along with site lighting that balanced safety with atmosphere. The result was a space that feels magical at night while remaining fully functional and secure.
​
Sustainable Site Development
A finished grading plan and stormwater management plan with narrative ensured the site blended seamlessly into the resort’s landscape while responsibly handling runoff. The erosion control plan protected surrounding areas during construction, reflecting the resort’s commitment to environmental stewardship.
​
Landscape Integration
The landscape plan framed the gazebo as a focal point within the resort, using plantings and pathways to create a natural flow for guests. This integration elevated the project from a simple protective structure to a destination feature within the resort grounds.
​
The Result
The completed gazebo serves as a showcase for the historical carousel, preserving its legacy while providing guests with a memorable experience. By combining structural precision, thoughtful site planning, and aesthetic landscaping, the project demonstrates how engineering can protect history while creating new opportunities for enjoyment.
