As the first new residential project in Burlington, Vermont’s Downtown District in over 15 years, The Nest now serves as an iconic landmark not only for its strikingly modern design, but also for its green building practices throughout the construction process.

Demolition Ranch is the largest firearms channel on YouTube, receiving around a million views every day, and since its inception in 2011, it has amassed more than 11.5 million subscribers.

The Hillsboro (OR) School District made plans to construct stand-alone gymnasiums at elementary schools that were sharing gym and cafeteria space. W.L.

At the Barrel & Bushel in Tysons Corner, VA, the slogan is "Handcrafted Just for You." The same could be said of the bifold doors that help connect the establishment's indoors and outdoor seating areas. They were manufactured to order by Schweiss Doors of Fairfax, MN.

This vacation villa right on Great Cruz Bay, on St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, has gone from eyesore to landmark, thanks to a major restoration following Hurricane Irma’s direct hit on the island in 2017. The owners have rechristened the home as “C’est la Sea”, which could be any Francophone’s utterance upon arrival. Its new, stunning blue metal roof from Petersen stands out against the island’s green hills.

The self-storage sector across the nation has been growing for years. More than 20% of Americans currently use self-storage, and another 15% say they intend to do so in the future.

Its vibrant, upscale image was achieved with the help of insulated metal wall panels from Kingspan Insulated Panels - North America.

Architect CannonDesign was tasked with designing the 41,000 square foot expansion of the University of Cincinnati (UC) Medical Center to increase its capacity and patient flow.

An unusual site alongside St. Paul, Minn.’s Mississippi riverfront is just one element in the city’s efforts to turn a former industrial area into a new center for housing and outdoor recreation.

The Internet is an amazing marketing and informational tool. That's where Dr. Frank Bacque, a urologist in Lafayette, LA, went when he needed a different style door for his new garage. Knowing the roll-up doors he had on his other garages wouldn’t work because they would take up too much inside ceiling room for him to install an American-made “Backyard Buddy” car lift inside, he went browsing for alternatives and eventually found Schweiss Doors.

In Mankato, MN, one business is going to the dogs, literally. The Paw is an innovative pet care facility that offers a whole host of services. In addition to being a pet daycare, it offers medical care, rehabilitation, grooming, exercise programs and organizes and hosts social events.

It may not rival the buildings it connects to in terms of size, scope or impact on campus life, but the skybridge that connects Colorado Mesa University's Maverick Center to the recently completed Foster Field House is an appreciated finishing touch for students, coaches and faculty who use those facilities.
