Rising from a sloped site, the Baker Center consists of two classroom and laboratory wings

flanking a centralized atrium.

As the RHEINZINK panels are 100 percent recyclable, they fit in nicely with the overall use of sustainable design found in the Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools.

Approximately 95,000 sq. ft. of RHEINZINK was used throughout the multi-building complex including 35,000 sq. ft. RHEINZINK 0.8mm/22 gauge Pre-weathered Blue-Gray Double Lock Standing Seam Panels; 50,000 sq. ft. RHEINZINK 0.8mm/22 gauge Pre-weathered Blue-Gray Angled Standing Seam Panels; and 10,000 sq. ft. RHEINZINK Pre-weathered Blue-Gray Interlocking Tile Soffit.

 Fabrication of the flat lock tiles was done by CSI Architectural Metal Inc., Carson, Calif. The Pterodactyl interior design also specified a considerable amount of the flat lock tiles to be used as strategic accents in areas that visually link the interior to the exterior façade.

The underside of the boxes is cut to accommodate an open plan on the main office floor below. The boxes are supported on the steel column grid extended from the parking structure.

Highlighting the façade are Woburn, Mass.-based RHEINZINK America Inc.’s prePATINA blue-grey Flat Lock Tiles. The metal tiles were also used in a low-slope roof application.

The detailing and installation of the Flat Lock panels was as complex and unique as the architecture itself. 

Completed in the spring of 2015, the Pterodactyl is perched atop a four-level parking garage that was built in 1998. The structure was designed to anticipate a future building, with steel columns extended above the top floor plate.

Perched atop a lower-level parking structure, the building is a jumble of fractured boxes that jut out at diverse angles, like a child’s origami paper game in process.

The project comprises 164 guest rooms in two buildings connected by a bridge. The vision was to use the natural landscape and vibrant urban life to blend the two while taking in the beauty of the sea and embracing the pedestrian activities of the area.

Shore Hotel used Contrarian Micro Textures’ InvariMatte® stainless steel for the envelope to form a handsome reflective façade that changes with the weather from the azure of the ocean to the gunmetal of grey skies.

This 500-unit graduate student apartment and commons complex creates an urban heart for the precinct, and helps to knit together the different student housing and other facilities sprinkled across Westwood.

By the time it opened in 2017, Packard Children’s expansion had set a new global standard in children’s healthcare design and delivery.

101 California’s re-envisioned outdoor plaza, lobbies, and new tenant amenities create a more engaging, human-scale experience at a renowned downtown San Francisco location.

The $129-million project reimagines the station as a community catalyst to serve the historically underserved neighborhood with enhanced passenger experience, pedestrian safety, and rail/bus transfers and connections.

Any designer or architect worth their salt will tell you that having an inspired client, wholly engaged in the conceptual and aesthetic underpinnings of a commission, is an enormous boon to the prospect of original creative expression.

Uginox Patina K44 Terne Coated Stainless Steel by Aperam is highly corrosion resistant and covered by a 20-year warranty.

Between sea and sky

Ben Rand is Dowbuilt's Regional Principal for Hawaii. He says the company's approach is simple: building relationships and trust is as important as the craftsmanship and creativity that goes into each of their high-end builds.

 The project consists of a six-story office building and five-levels of parking. The building also includes training, an exercise facility and a full-service cafeteria. A central park featuring an intricate mix of hardscape, softscape landform treatments and topography creates outdoor meeting spaces for employee gatherings.

The home is being built by Marc Hagle, president and CEO of Tricor International, LLC, and his wife Sharon. It will be the largest in Winter Park and one of the largest in the country.

Fashion Drive Mall is located in Monterrey, Nuevo

León, a city in the north of Mexico. The façade was

designed and built by “Grupo Básica”, a Mexican

company specialized in design, consultancy and

installation of façades. 

Comprising a hotel, next-generation cinema, three AAA-level office towers and the 121,750 m2 (1,310,500 ft2) five-level Parque Toreo shopping mall, the complex occupies land adjacent to a new 60 km (37.3 mile) long highway, which joins the north and south of the city, making the Mall and the rest of the complex easily accessible to most of the highincome neighbourhoods in the city’s metropolitan area.

Parque Toreo was designed as a mixed-use complex and as a prime example of this phenomenon of urbanization. The site is located in Naucalpan, State of Mexico, the most developed suburban area with significant commerce to the north of Mexico City.

The way to assemble, a flat-lock system, seems as if

they were fish scales. This technique of mechanical

union avoids the use of welding, adhesives, sealants

or liquid elements that could fail and stain the façade

by draining them.
