Located on 4.5+ acres in the heart of Black Forest, Colorado, the two-story office building sports exterior and interior metal finishes and comfortable yet provocative space for S-5!

Standing high above the Rainey Street Historic District in Austin, Texas, The Quincy is a vibrant, modern, 30-story high-rise. Completed in 2021, the 700,000-square-foot luxury tower is home to offices, retail and residences.

Marking the epicenter of New London, Conn.’s renaissance, a new multifamily rental community built on the corner of Hamilton and Howard streets is bringing new life to the neighborhood with welcoming market-rate residences. 

A typical building loses up to 25 percent of its heat through the roof. Industry-leading Elevate roofing and insulation systems by Holcim were thus instrumental in the construction of the world’s largest Passive House-certified office building: the Winthrop Center in Boston.

Many roofing contractors will tell you that the easiest part of any project is the actual roofing work. This is particularly true of projects that have challenging administrative, safety, and/or installation requirements.

To clad the 37,200-square-foot structure, Old Country Millwork supplied Four C’s Construction with approximately 8 tons of RHEINZINK’s architectural zinc. Four C’s fabricated the natural metal material into 12-inch-wide reveal wall panels and installed 7,600 square feet on the building’s exterior.

With a focus on energy efficiency and sustainability for this innovative design, Architect Gensler Los Angeles specified 156,000 square feet of Solarban 70 glass because of its superior solar control and thermal insulation properties.

A recent renovation project for the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority’s Elliot Twin Towers development shows how these facilities can be upgraded to add decades to their usefulness and comfort to their residents’ lives. A metal wall panel system was used for a creative effect in this project, adding both insulating value and upscale visual flair.

Studio 804 is a year-long, educational opportunity for graduate students who are entering the final year of the Master of Architecture program at the University of Kansas School of Architecture and Design. Students are tasked with real-world building challenges as part of the program, including the designing, hiring of consultants, establishing budgets, getting permits and the physical act of building the entire structure.

Design architect Alfonso Architects, Tampa, was tasked to create something special that departed from the brick buildings typically seen on hospital and college campuses. That variation led to the selection of Weathering Steel wall panels.
