Once the roofing system was completed, a roof garden system was installed on the building, allowing for a community roof deck.

Shadow Series from Dri-Design was used to achieve that goal and mimic the look of bamboo on the building’s exterior.

Due to the ranch’s remote location, the owner wished to build an off-the-grid building featuring a 3.84kW rooftop solar array together with a battery storage system to power the building. 

A wonderful story of adaptive reuse, the former steel plant turned 2023 AIA Committee on the Environment Top Ten Award Winner features three connected buildings, now home to robotics, manufacturing and high-tech companies.

The design team at PJHM Architects considered many cement fiber rainscreen options before selecting metal wall panels.

Insulated metal panels (IMPs) were used to add architectural flair to the project through a wide range of colors, patterns, textures and finishes. 

Converting a brownfield site with demolished buildings and abandoned parking lots into a sleek curtainwall and metal paneled mid-rise, Brown & Brown’s new 11-story headquarters is a classic architectural tale of a phoenix rising from the ashes in downtown Daytona Beach.

The reborn Smith Elementary is a near-twin of a second K-5 school, also recently opened, to replace a 70-year-old facility elsewhere in the region. Both schools feature identical floorplans, but designers with Pfluger Architects’ Austin office wanted to give each exterior unique identities, and metal wall panels offered a great option given the profile and color options now available.

Unlike anything offered on campus before, the project thoughtfully employs design features and amenities reflecting the character of the district, while the building form and interior elements pull inspiration from the energy and dynamic nature of ice hockey.

Along with its space saving properties, the masonry system’s design improved efficiency on the job site. The pre-assembled blocks eliminated the multiple passes that would have been necessary to construct standard cavity walls.
