The Project

Muckleroy & Falls, a commercial contractor known for their client-centered relationships, was the General Contractor for the MetroTex Corporate Office project. They needed Aluminum Battens installed on a steel structure and a stunning sunshade wrapping around a corner. As a long-standing partner of Arch-Fab, Muckleroy & Falls trusted us to provide high-quality shade solutions that would enhance the look of the building and provide a long-lasting, turnkey solution.

Arch-Fab designed, fabricated, and installed 46 Aluminum Battens and 1 louvered sunshade with a Kynar Charcoal Finish for the MetroTex Corporate Office project. The Aluminum Battens were installed on a steel structure and interlocked seamlessly for a clean and modern look. The Sunshade, wrapping around a corner, provides shade for the building’s occupants and adds depth and character to the building’s facade. Our team was able to deliver a turnkey solution, ensuring a seamless installation process for Muckleroy & Falls.

BOKA Powell, a leading architecture firm with over 40 years of experience, was the Architect for this project. Arch-Fab has a great long-standing relationship with BOKA Powell, and we were thrilled to partner with them on this project.

Their passion for creating compelling, flexible, cost-effective design solutions that directly respond to their client’s needs aligned perfectly with Arch-Fab’s commitment to delivering custom shade solutions that enhance the look of a building while also providing functional benefits. Our collaboration with BOKA Powell ensured that the final product exceeded expectations and provided the perfect finishing touch to the MetroTex Corporate Office project.

TTI Corporate Renovations

TTI Corporate Renovations | Hanging Battens with Wood Grain Powder Coat Finish

TTI Corporate Renovations

September

The Project

Arch-Fab recently had the opportunity to partner with TTI’s newest location here in Fort Worth, TX. TTI is a world leader in providing power tools, and more for brands like Milwaukee, Ryobi, and Hoover to name a few. With such growth, a new TTI location was needed, and Arch-Fab had the pleasure of giving character and aesthetic appeal to the updated break room.

The facilities manager at TTI recommended us to Muckleroy & Falls for this scope of work.

This was Arch-Fab’s first project where the scope of work required hanging battens from the ceiling to create a floating effect. The purpose of the batten suspension was to cover up the ceiling work such as the tiles, air ducts, and other necessities required for ventilation and regular building needs.

Our aluminum floating battens were the perfect solution because they were light-weight and strong enough to span the width necessary for minimal attachment, while still hiding the necessary structure at the ceiling. The wood grain powder coating complemented the break room’s design, adding warmth and visual interest. The cable design makes them look as if they were floating and leaving open space in case the ducts above needed required maintenance.

Arch-Fab’s relationship with Muckleroy & Falls has only continued to strengthen while this project allows Arch-Fab to build a relationship with architect FRS Design Group. It was also the first step in designing within an interior space using cables, something that will be very simple to replicate on future projects that call for the same needs. Arch-Fab is very excited to find new ways to creatively use the batten system.

Presidium Revelstoke

Presidium Revelstoke | Wall-mounted Sunshades with Wood Grain Powder Coated Infill

Presidium Revelstoke

December

The Project

Presidium Revelstoke boasts “Luxury for a Lifetime” and every last architectural detail in this 408-unit luxury North Fort Worth apartment community echoes notes of luxury brought to life by O’Brien Architects and constructed by premier multifamily builder, Provident General Contractors.

The three-story, 466,515 square-foot development was designed with a contemporary architectural approach providing members with the latest technology for modern living. Outdoor amenities are reminiscent of a lavish vacation, including a resort-style pool with cabanas, gas grills, a second-floor outdoor deck overlooking the pool area, a dog park with a wash station, onsite car wash, electric car charging station, and a community playground.

Long-term partner, Provident General Contractors (PGC), approached Arch-Fab with the opportunity to participate in the design, pricing, and turnkey installation of this multi-scope luxury multi-family project.

O’Brien Architects had very specific design preferences (i.e. wood grain, durable, interior/exterior) that spanned across a variety of finish product types (canopies, trellises, battens, cabanas, etc.). Our general contractor partner, PGC, wanted a single, “turnkey solution” to perform as much of the scope of work as possible. The challenge was to satisfy the design intent, deliver high-end finishes, produce and perform efficiently, and proficiently collaborate with many stakeholders.

After meeting with the owner, architect, and general contractor to map out a general plan and budget, we developed detailed designs and were awarded an initial scope of work that included interior and exterior battens and shade trellis structures. As a trusted partner to O’Brien and PGC, Arch-Fab was presented numerous additional opportunities to solve challenges and bring value. Revelstoke was a complete success for all parties involved and eventually grew to one of Arch-Fab’s largest multi-family projects with eight unique product packages designed produced and installed, becoming the template for Presidium projects as well as others in Arch-Fab’s rapidly growing multi-family segment.

Presidium has selected Arch-Fab for its future developments and O’Brien has included Arch-Fab as their “Basis of Design” going forward. Revelstoke has solidified the partnership between PGC and Arch-Fab and reviews from PGC’s precon and onsite teams have been excellent.
