A hemispheric dome, clad in more than 1,500 graphite-grey flat-lock tiles, prominently crowns the new planetarium's roof at Sacramento Municipal Utility District Museum of Science and Curiosity.

Innovative Building Concepts of Burnsville, Minn., worked with Sheet Metal Supply to optimize the tile size for both production and economic efficiency while maintaining the originally intended aesthetic.

For the landmark residential tower recently completed near the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, the texture and finish of the prominent metallic surfaces needed to be just right. 

Providing natural light, while promoting a comfortable, creative and productive interior, interlocking polycarbonate translucent wall system replaced the brick exterior's broken and empty window openings.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the 205,000-square-foot Vandalia Tower in St. Paul, Minnesota, recently completed a significant renovation to meet the modern needs of its commercial, nonprofit and artistic tenants and the approval of the State Historic Preservation Officer and National Park Service.

The copper roof was part of the plans for the 50,000-sq.-ft. science center from the start for the design team of Robert A. M. Stern Architects as design architects, and the Dallas office of GFF Inc.; the combination of copper roofs and red-brick façades is a feature of all the school’s buildings.

The exterior finish is comprised of glass, wood and metal, including IW Series metal rainscreen panels from CENTRIA.

Principles of efficient construction, thermal  and fire performance were played out in real time as the  clock ticked down on construction of Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders and UNLV Football.

The use of standard framing systems in the glazing business is quite common, but when designers use those systems in unconventional ways to create visual interest in their buildings, it can also provide some installation challenges.

Dubbed 1010 On The Rhine, the mixed-use structure opened in the fall of 2019, with classical skyscraper massing that helps it fit into the surrounding historic district, and a unique metal panel and glass façade that makes sure it stands out in the city’s skyline.
