P1 天美直播 is 天美直播 to a Gem of a Differentiator: Architectural Metal
Led by Allen Supplee, a veteran of the architectural metal industry with 40 years of experience, the Architectural Metal team uses today鈥檚 technology to create tomorrow鈥檚 imaginings.
We often see the team鈥檚 work on projects for major theme parks like Disney, but don鈥檛 underestimate the visual impact a high-visibility parking garage can have on the surrounding area. P1 Architectural Metal excels at beautifying public spaces by creating innovative designs for parking garage facades.
Recently, the team has brought their flair for both form and function to three projects in Florida: the Bayfront Parking Garage in St. Petersburg; the Boca Raton Innovation Campus Parking Garage; and the Sarasota Memorial Hospital Oncology parking garage.
All three projects were led by Project Manager Taylor Supplee.
Bayfront parking garage St. Petersburg, FL
The Architectural Metal team brought eye-catching detail to the Bayfront Parking garage in St. Petersburg, FL, with hexagon panels constructed with 4-inch x 6-inch x 1/4-inch aluminum tubes that were welded at strategic joint points for easy disassembly, shipping, and reassembly.
The largest panel is 25 feet x 22 feet.
鈥淭he team designed a special structural bracket that slotted inside the back sides of notched tubes on the hexagons so attachments to the garage were hidden, giving a 鈥榝loating panel鈥 effect,鈥 Taylor said.
Boca Raton innovation Campus (BRiC) Boca Raton, FL
The Boca Raton Innovation Campus, formerly the home of IBM, is an innovative office park in Boca Raton, FL, that鈥檚 evolving the campus into a premier science and technology hub.
鈥淚t was only fitting that the parking garage reflect the campus鈥檚 rich history of technology and innovation, so the P1 Architectural Metal team fabricated aluminum panels perforated to look like a digital circuit board across the parking garage鈥檚 north and south elevations,鈥 Taylor said.
The panels used a 鈥渄rop-and-lock鈥 attachment system for installation.
Sarasota Memorial Hospital Oncology Parking Garage Sarasota, FL
The Architectural Metal team added an epic look to the Sarasota Memorial Hospital鈥檚 oncology parking garage with the installation of 44 custom 鈥淴鈥 louver assemblies and 265 ACM (aluminum composite material) panels.
鈥淲e found a way to save the customer money by using a buy-out panel as the basis of design to fabricate custom 鈥淴鈥 louver assemblies at a more affordable price per square foot than the original off-the-shelf product,鈥 Taylor explained.
The P1 Architectural Metal team has their own 32,000 sq. ft. fabrication and office facility in Kansas City, MO, performing national work with high profile customers like Disney and Waldorf Astoria in Florida, Hawaii, California, Arizona, and more.
