When Hurricane Michael hit the Florida panhandle in October 2018, the damage was devastating. Among the buildings battered but still standing was the Holiday Inn in Panama City. To help bring the hotel back to life and stronger than ever, the project team incorporated innovative building envelope products from Kingspan Insulated Panels North America.

The Holiday Inn Express hotel in Wauwatosa, WI, was recently provided with a new, updated look thanks to canopies topped with curved panels from Floline Architectural Systems. The new canopies' panels, utilizing Floline’s 900 Series Panel formed from 22 gauge steel with a Kynar Silver Visulure II finish, were crimp-curved to a 37’-1 ½” radius and 25’-1 ½” radius. Due to the complexity of the project, interaction between the installer and the Floline Design Team was paramount.

The new Holiday Inn Manhattan-Financial District is lighting up the Wall Street neighborhood with a brilliant metal-paneled façade. Crafted from Reynobond® Aluminum Composite Material (ACM), the facade attracts and reflects light to brighten the street-level pedestrian landscape around it. The new hotel also provides a new superlative for Manhattan. At 50 stories tall, it is the tallest Holiday Inn in the world.

As Norway’s most recognizable mountain, Oslo’s famous Holmenkollen now boasts a newly rebuilt ski jump, which has already been honored as the chosen site for the Nordic World Ski Championships. Designed to withstand harsh winds and symbolize the success of the Norwegian capital, the new Holmenkollen is clad with stainless steel woven metal mesh from GKD.

In 2005, Holy Family Catholic Church was renovated and a metal roof was installed. CB Goldsmith and Associates designed the church and F.G. Metals in Largo, FL, installed the roof. ATAS International Inc.’s 2” Field-Lok panel was chosen to complete the project because of the ATAS International Inc.’s weather tight warranty program, and the architect’s preferences for this type of roof.

The Holy Resurrection Chapel, located in The Gardens at Gethsemane in West Roxbury, MA, offers a place where Orthodox families can observe and practice the customs and traditions of the Orthodox community. Fittingly, the chapel's design incorporates RHEINZINK titanium zinc roofing from RHEINZINK America Inc., a material with a rich, historical tradition of its own.

Located in Carmel, IN, the newly completed Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church is both traditional and unique. And while similarities and differences between it and the usual byzantine-orthodox style would be most familiar to those in the know, the building's massive golden dome is something everyone can appreciate. Measuring 52' in diameter and weighing 50 tons, it is clad with standing seam metal roof panels that were fabricated and installed by M.G. McGrath of Maplewood, MN. The firm also fit sheet metal to the 20 round window dormers that surround the dome, and shop-fabricated two smaller domes that top towers located on either side of the building's main entrance.

With the well-known retailer's new store sitting at the base of the Holland Tunnel--a spot where more than 100,000 cars pass daily--there was a desire to give the two-story parking structure attached to Home Depot's new Jersey City, NJ location a visually appealing, yet equally durable exterior. This led to the specification of a Parkade™ metal fabric application from Cambridge Architectural, featuring 14,700 sq. ft. of the company's Mid-Balance fabric and Eclipse™ attachment hardware. The store and parking deck were designed by SBLM Architects, New York City, NY.

Home2 Suites by Hilton Chicago River North was designed for travelers who want to maintain their normal routine.

The new home for the Homewood Board of Education Central Office in Alabama is a modern 14,500 sq. ft. structure, which marks the first phase of a long-term development plan on a 24-acre site in a suburb of Birmingham. The facility features a variety of PAC-CLAD metal products from Petersen.

Approximately 10,300 sq. ft. of Metl-Span CF Striated Insulated Wall Panels were used on the administration building at an innovative Eco Park project in Hong Kong. The building is a model for green building measures and has achieved the highest Platinum rating under the Hong Kong Building Environmental Assessment Method (HK-BEAM.)

A stiffer design challenge than this is tough to imagine: Create a landmark home for the Honolulu Design Center that is uniquely contemporary for Hawaii, stands out yet fits into the naturally dramatic island backdrop, and puts the design center on an equal footing with centers in other major design cities around the world. Alucobond® PE Core by Alcan Composites USA met this aesthetic challenge.

This indoor water park was created within the confines of a newly erected Varco Pruden metal building. To maintain an interior temperature range of 80 to 84 degrees, even in the most frigid winter months, the building’s designer skinned the building with 60,000 sq. ft. of Metl-Span® insulated wall and roof panels. The 4” thick CFR-42 roof panels were finished in Cool Forest Green on the exterior and Polar White on the interior. The 3” thick CF-42 wall panels were finished in Terra Cotta on the exterior and Desert Beige on the interior.

City of Hope’s new outpatient center, Hope Plaza, is a beacon of light in Duarte, California, blending world-class cancer care with an architectural vision that reflects its mission and the surrounding natural beauty. The building’s design, featuring Lorin’s Light Bronze anodized aluminum, seamlessly integrates the facility with its environment while symbolizing resilience and care.

On November 1, 2016, the Hopewell Baptist Church building in Greenville, MS tragically burned down. Thanks to a nationwide show of support effort, aided by metal systems from Reed's Metals, the church was rebuilt by July 2017.

On May 4th, 2011, Hopkins County officials joined Sheffield Metals International, Horn Brothers Roofing and others in celebrating the activation of a 190kW solar metal roofing installation atop the Hopkins County Civic Center in Sulphur Springs, TX. The system, comprised of products and components offered by Sheffield Metals of Sheffield Village, OH, was installed as part of the repair of two aging sections of low-slope metal roofing over the civic center’s horse stables.

Located in Vancouver, WA, the new headquarters of Hopper Dennis and Jellison PLLC is a seamless blend of form and function. Built atop a first floor parking garage, the 17,500 sq. ft., three-story structure is light and airy, and creates a cohesive image that improves work flow for its engineering firm owner. Covering much of its exterior are ALPOLIC® aluminum composite material panels.

Readily recyclable and manufactured from recycled materials, Cambridge Architectural stainless steel mesh systems provide a large-scale streamlined look that makes an elegant statement inside the Horowitz Visual and Performing Arts Center at Howard Community College in Columbia, MD.

While trends create buzz, historical designs leave a lasting impression. Hotel Eleo at the University of Florida in Gainesville is attracting attention with its design references to a master plan that French architect Le Corbusier created for Algiers in the 1930s, but in a material language that includes weathering steel metal wall panels from Dri-Design. The building blends with the surrounding historic architecture of the campus, while also standing out.

As the name implies, Hotel EMC2—as in Albert Einstein’s mass-energy equivalence or E = mc2—is a science-themed hotel. Located in the Streeterville neighborhood of Chicago, the hotel was designed to be a one-of-a-kind space inspired by science, art and cuisine. The exterior of the 21-story hotel has a sleek aesthetic, utilizing Dri-Design Metal Wall Panels to achieve its modern look.
