thankful california-11-11 project of the month: we almost missed the end of the month without our regular project of the month feature. we are in toronto this week for the construct canada show. (www.constructcanada.com). so, before the month slips away (in about one hour) allow us to share this beautiful pigmento green zinc project with you.
this is the temple sinai in oakland, california. worth the drive if one is in the bay area, this beautiful project contrasts the existing temple with the new addition by michael harris architecture. (http://www.mbh-arch.com/) in addition, michael harris contrasts vertical and horizontal elements of the addition and echoes those moves in the orientation of the zinc standing seam panels.
the project was installed by peterson sheet metal and the photography was shot by gilbertson photography. we are thankful to share it with you -this month. enjoy. =vm
