Located in the heart of Towson Maryland, The Green Turtle asked Curry Architects and the Curry Architects interiors group to conceive and create a rooftop entertainment experience. Known as the Turtle Shell, the space includes a bar and dining that consist of interior and exterior space. The interior dining and bar area is built with garage doors that can be opened during nice weather to provide a comfortable outside dining experience at rooftop level. The project required Curry Architects extensive building code experience to bear as the entire building had to be upgraded to meet International Building Code Standards. The project also included facade upgrades, the reworking and extension of interior stairs, new bathrooms to serve the rooftop level, and a new elevator and new exit stair.
