CHAIX COMPANY WAS SELECTED TO FURNISH A ONE-OF-A-KIND CURVED OPERABLE PARTITION FOR THE STEVE JOBS THEATRE IN CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA. FROM INCEPTION THROUGH COMPLETION, AND COORDINATION WITH THE DESIGN TEAM AND GENERAL CONTRACTOR, THIS PROJECT SPANNED ALMOST 3 YEARS. THE CURVED WALL IS OVER 200 FEET LONG AND 20' TALL, CLAD IN BOTH STAINLESS STEEL AND ACOUSTICAL FABRIC. INDIVIDUAL PANEL ELEMENTS ARE OVER 6' WIDE AND WEIGH OVER 2,400 POUNDS EACH.
BASED ON OUR EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE WITH MOVABLE WALLS, WE WERE ASKED TO design and DEVELOP A SET OF very SPECIALIZED MOTORIZED SLIDING DOORS FOR THE THEATRE STAGE. THESE WALLS WERE DESIGNED AND BUILT AS THE PROJECT PROGRESSED, AND INCLUDED MANY CUSTOM AND NEVER-BEFORE SEEN FEATURES.
