FUNCTIONAL BUILDINGS WITH HIGH ARCHITECTURAL QUALITY

The main fire station in Regensburg impressively demonstrates that functional buildings can also be realised with high architectural quality. Here, a particular strength of AGROB BUCHTAL came into play: The comprehensive range includes numerous ceramic solutions for interior and exterior use – a benefit that enables holistic concepts.

For the façade of this new building the architects chose the AGROB BUCHTAL system Keratwin with a colour gradient of finely tuned shades, which were specially designed and individually manufactured for this project

Everett Moore is a Hardware store in Springfield, Colorado. I haven’t been there yet but judging from their website I really want to go there and see for myself. The Everett Moore homepage has a beginners guide of how to use glue and which jars to use to can the homegrown vegetables. Perfect for a city slicker like me…. Anyway Ernie from Everett Moore had chosen to go with the Stonewood Exposed Fastener system. (Aptly named EF system) I remember Ernie’s comment was: “We are a hardware store so we are going to show hardware. No argument here.

The Coloradan in downtown Denver finally nears its substantial completion. I have been waiting more or less patiently for the GKD to be installed at the parking garage. This is a big job for us and I cannot wait for the project to be finished so I can take semi professional pictures … with my cell phone.  This project looks fantastic

I am thrilled to share with you this amazing project that showcases the talent and creativity of our manufacturers. The Hillcrest High school project was designed by FFKR Architects, who envisioned a stunning perforated image of the school’s mascot on the building facade. To make this vision a reality, our manufacturers Northclad from WA. and DLSS Manufacturing from NC. worked together to produce the perforated and patinated copper panels that Rodac installed. This project is a testament to the collaboration and excellence of everyone involved. Watch the video below to see the final result.

We see a lot of buildings coming out for bid with a curved canopy over the main entrance. Merchant and Evans as a structural Roofing panel that can be curved to a certain radius and mounted only at the eave. The cost savings are significant because there is not much structural steel needed. Since a picture say more than a 1000 words:

University of Utah Medical Center bridge however was another level of awesome. This roof features two layers of a structural roofing panel connected with each other using the S5! clip. How is that for ingenuity?

I don’t have project pictures but her are two decent Google map pictures of the project.
