Engineering and Hospitality – Chesapeake Boathouse and Bricktown Hotel

One of the most important recreational destinations in Oklahoma City is the Oklahoma Centennial Project of Chesapeake Boathouse, funded by Chesapeake Energy. What’s immediately striking about the boathouse is the stunning architecture by Rand Elliott.

The Chesapeake Boathouse is the first building on the banks of the Oklahoma River that flows through downtown Oklahoma City. The $3.5 million design conveys the image of a rowing shell. The Boathouse features polycarbonate translucent walls that glow at night. These combined with the sixteen light columns are designed to create the impression of a sailboat driven with oars floating on the river. Within the boathouse are boat bays, deck, lobby, two event rooms capable of hosting meetings and receptions, one of which features a 62-foot window offering panoramic views of the boat bays, a fully equipped fitness room, and last but by no means the least, the 24-foot glass wall offering unparalleled views of the reflecting pool, the Oklahoma River and the deck.
