Just west of Denver, nestled among huge red sandstone monoliths in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, is the state’s most celebrated piece of architecture: Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Located in Morrison, CO, Red Rocks' iconic stage was recently outfitted with a larger protective roof form. During its installation, the roof was equipped with a snow retention system from S-5!.

Metal Sales Manufacturing Corporation provided more than 67,000 total square feet of metal wall and roof panels for the Redding School of the Arts in Redding, CA, giving the facility a smart and modern look worthy of its high-profile, high performance mission.

Just off the shores of the San Francisco Bay sits the new Redwood Shores Community Library, providing a gathering place and educational center as well as an eco-friendly facility. The 21,500 sq. ft. bay-side building is topped with Morin’s SLR-16 standing seam metal roofing. The panels can be formed from Galvalume®, aluminum, zinc, copper or stainless steel, but in the case of the library project they were formed from 22-gauge steel with a Champagne Bronze Metallic paint finish.

The brand new Reed Row apartments in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, D.C. offers an eclectic, urban sophistication that is reflective of the area. Nowhere is that more evident than on the roof, where the design team created the ideal social gathering space, accentuated with claddings from RHEINZINK America Inc.

Regency at South Whitehall in Allentown, Pennsylvania is an active adult community offering a variety of single-family and townhome-style residences. To emphasize the “active” for its growing number of 55-plus-year-old homebuyers, a striking clubhouse with a signature black metal roof from Petersen has become a centerpiece of the development, offering a fitness center and pool, along with tennis and bocce courts and a number of other amenities.

There's a sculptural quality to the design of the Regent Park Aquatic Centre in Toronto Ontario, Canada. Lending to the design is a Dri-Design rainscreen cladding system fabricated from ANTHRA-ZINC, a rich, charcoal black zinc version of a VMZINC®, the international brand name of rolled zinc products manufactured and sold by the Building Products Unit of Umicore.

The City of Brampton located in the Region of Peel near Toronto, Ontario, Canada has experienced rapid growth in recent years, averaging a population increase of 20,000 people per year for several years. The large influx of people moving into the area spurred the construction of a new water storage facility and pumping station on the western edge of the region. Roofing materials from The Garland Company Inc. played a prominent role in the project.

From the front office to the dugout, members of the Birmingham Barons Double-A baseball club will tell you their 2013 Southern League Championship title was the result of a total team effort. The same is true for the dedicated professionals behind the club’s new, award-winning ballpark, Regions Field, which features architectural metal products from CENTRIA.

Over its more than 130-year existence, Regions® Hospital in Minneapolis, MN, has built a reputation as a world-class trauma and emergency center. To ensure that reputation is maintained well into the future, the hospital's board embarked on a mission to build a five-story addition with a hotel-like atmosphere and VIP-type amenities. Among the materials featured on the addition's exterior are Reynobond® ACM from Alcoa Architectural Products.

REHAU® is a premium worldwide brand for polymer-based innovations and systems in construction, automotive and industrial applications. When the company needed to double the capacity of its Cullman, Alabama manufacturing facility, enabling the production, warehousing and shipping of cross-linked polyethylene piping (PEX), it turned to Wildeck products.

The original, 30-year-old metal roof over the Administration Building at Reid State Technical College in Evergreen, AL was damaged by Hurricane Ivan in 2004, causing leaks. The leaking had become progressively worse in recent years, prompting College administrators to explore roof replacement options – which eventually led to the use of standing seam metal roofing from The Garland Company Inc.

It might be a stretch to say that divine intervention played a part in the connection between long-time Star Building Systems builder G&W Builders and Reliance Church in Temecula, CA., but it certainly worked out to be a successful outcome for them both when Reliance Church was looking for the perfect team to build their new church amid the lush landscape and mountainous terrain of their hometown.

The luxurious new Renaissance Hotel at Patriot Place anchors 1.3 million sq. ft. of shopping, entertainment and commercial space located adjacent to Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots, in Foxborough, MA. The five-story, four-star hotel and spa offers a distinctive personality and dramatic views of the stadium. Approximately 20,000 sq. ft. of Metl-Span CFA Architectural insulated wall panels finished in Cool Metallic Silver were utilized on the hotel's exterior. The 2 ½” thick panels were installed horizontally.

Rennen & Beecher Flats, incorporating a total of 18 condos and three ground-level retail spaces, is one of the latest in a long list of projects completed by the local nonprofit Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. Metal wall panels from Petersen add a contemporary feel to the mixed-use project.

The Reserve at Park Ten is a master-planned office complex located in the West Houston Energy Corridor (Houston, Texas). Arcon Architects of League City, TX, designed the project’s initial structure—a six-story, 150,000 sq. ft. Class A office building with a parking garage—using a palette of low-maintenance, regionally produced, sustainable products, including metal wall panels from Berridge Manufacturing Co. of San Antonio, TX.

Cambridge Architectural, Cambridge, MD, employed its unique design-build approach to outfit the exterior of a newly constructed Massachusetts parking garage in glistening woven metal fabric. The structure is at Reservoir Woods, a 120-acre, $16 million office complex in Waltham, MA. Spagnolo Gisness & Associates, Inc. of Boston, MA, designed the garage, which uses a combination of Cambridge's Scale and Mid-balance products. They were attached using the company's Eclipse tension attachment hardware.

Though more commonly featured in roofing applications, stamped metal shingles by Paradigm Shingles of Milton, VT, are also perfectly appropriate for use as a wall cladding. Evidence of that can be seen in Portland, ME, where they were recently specified by Richard Renner Architects for the exterior of a newly constructed 1,300 sq. ft. home. Christopher Gormely Inc. of North Yarmouth, ME, was the general contractor for the project, which was built with environmental responsibility and energy efficiency in mind.

The Residence In the Woods is a uniquely-formed structure that responds literally to significant site challenges. Designed by its architect owner and wedged between zoning setbacks, a stream buffer and a steep slope, the residence was squeezed vertically into a three-story massing. Each floor is clad in a different material, with the lower level featuring 1/2" sinusoidal panels fabricated from 0.8mm RHEINZINK material in a Preweathered Graphite Gray finish. The panels were applied as a ventilated rainscreen.

AEP Span’s Prestige Series® architectural metal panel is featured on the Residence Inn Marriott project, the first hotel in Portland’s famous Pearl District. Located in a revitalized area of the inner city that has earned a worldwide reputation for urban renaissance, the 223-room hotel is LEED Silver Certified. The metal panels not only contributed to the recycled content points, but from a design standpoint offering a broad color choice was essential.

Two different applications of RHEINZINK were combined with unequivocal success on the design of a striking single-family home on property overlooking Lake Ontario in Canada. For the roof, the project's architect used single lock standing seam panels, and on the walls, diamond pattern zinc shingles were incorporated as an accent.
