Since 2011, CSI Architectural Metal has manufactured and supplied advanced panel systems for Apple retail stores in California, Florida, Hawaii, Massachusetts, and Texas. The CSI-RRP Reveal Roof Panel, engineered by Daniel Schmidt, was specifically designed to meet the Apple Design Team’s technical and aesthetic requirements for flagship store applications.

Unlike production-line manufacturers, CSI Architectural Metal operates as a boutique design-fabrication studio capable of executing large orders across multiple projects simultaneously. Our team combines experienced project professionals with master craftspeople, working in close collaboration with global partners such as RHEINZINK in Germany and trusted domestic suppliers like Old Country Millwork in Los Angeles. With fabrication capabilities positioned to serve the mainland United States, Hawaii, and the Pacific Islands, CSI delivers precision architectural metal systems wherever projects demand.

Given the complexity of modern metal roofing, façade and enclosure systems, CSI Architectural Metal works proactively with project stakeholders to identify challenges early, coordinate across trades, and contribute practical, constructible solutions during the process always in alignment with the established project requirements to meet the architects' design intent.
