Muse Shops at Midtown

May

The Project

The Muse Shops at Midtown is a gorgeous retail space located adjacent to the Galleria in North Dallas. Pairing modern-day workspace options with design, dining, services and entertainment, the sophisticated mix ranges from move-in ready options to furnishings stores and crafty coffee houses, with many new openings to come.

Our stunning aluminum sunshades and standing seam awnings hang along uniquely styled storefronts, so that patrons find relief from the elements while enjoying shopping, dining, or just strolling along the tree-shaded breezeways.

Our own Nick Allen worked directly with Andres Construction and GFF Dallas to bring this stunning project to life.

Alliance Town Center

Helios Canopies with Kynar Black Finish

Alliance Town Center

February

The Project

Hillwood Construction Services, a renowned name in the construction industry with a legacy dating back to the Perot family, needed a sun control solution for their latest endeavor, Alliance Town Center, a vibrant retail space in Fort Worth.

Their vision demanded shade solutions that not only provided functional benefits but also added to the aesthetic appeal of the space. Given their reputation for excellence and attention to detail, they required products that matched their high standards and contributed to the overall success of the project.

Our longstanding partnership with Hillwood made us keenly aware of their expectations, driving us to deliver innovative and reliable shade solutions tailored to their specific needs.

To meet Hillwood Construction’s exacting requirements, Architectural Fabrication stepped up to provide our Helios Canopy system, a pinnacle of versatility and durability in the realm of architectural shade solutions.

We meticulously designed, fabricated, and installed our Helios units, totaling 3,267 sq.ft., with an 8” fascia, prefinished in sleek Black Kynar, and equipped with efficient scuppers for drainage.

Our expertise in aluminum fabrication allowed us to deliver a solution that seamlessly integrated with the architectural vision of Alliance Town Center while offering unparalleled functionality and longevity. By offering a turnkey solution, from design to installation, we ensured a streamlined process and exceptional results that exceeded expectations.

Our partnership with GFF Dallas played a pivotal role in the success of the Alliance Town Center project. GFF Dallas, a distinguished multi-disciplinary design firm renowned for its creative prowess and commitment to excellence, collaborated closely with us and Hillwood Construction to bring the project to fruition.

Leveraging our longstanding relationship with GFF Dallas, we navigated the complexities of the project with ease, facilitating seamless communication and coordination between all stakeholders. This collaborative approach not only ensured the successful integration of our shade solutions into the project but also fostered a cohesive vision that elevated the overall design aesthetic of Alliance Town Center.

Benchmark Bank

August

The Project

Rogers O’Brien Construction, a prominent name in innovative construction, approached us with a distinctive challenge for their latest project. Partnering with the esteemed architectural firm Good Fulton & Farrell (GFF), they sought to create a visually captivating element for the Benchmark Bank.

The aim was to enhance the building’s aesthetic appeal while providing partial sunshade. Our relationship with Rogers O’Brien and our close partnership with GFF positioned us as the ideal collaborator to meet their unique requirements.

We conceptualized, designed, fabricated, and meticulously installed a Louvered System for the Benchmark Bank project. We adapted our louvered sunshade product to create a striking visual feature that extended up the building’s exterior and onto the roof. This innovative system seamlessly blended form and function, adding depth and character to the structure while providing practical sun protection.

Our collaboration with GFF on the Benchmark Bank project was an embodiment of our commitment to excellence and innovation. With a shared dedication to pushing boundaries and delivering exceptional results, our partnership thrived. As a result, the Louvered System we provided not only met the aesthetic and functional requirements of the project but also contributed to the bank’s identity as a distinguished architectural landmark.

The synergy between Arch-Fab, Rogers O’Brien Construction, and GFF underscored our ability to translate visionary concepts into tangible, remarkable structures.

Black Rifle Coffee Company

Black Rifle Coffee | Project of the Month

Black Rifle Coffee Company

July

The Project

Link Partners, renowned for their exceptional knowledge in construction, approached Arch-Fab for shade solutions and wall panels for the Black Rifle Coffee project in Killeen. Understanding the significance of creating lasting impressions with their projects, Link Partners desired top-quality shade structures and wall panels that fit within the Black Rifle Coffee project‘s military-inspired industrial style.

Arch-Fab designed, fabricated, and installed an Atlas canopy above the drive-through window and another canopy wrapped around the front of the retail building above the garage door. Our Atlas Canopy system, known for its design flexibility, was the perfect fit for this project. The materials used for the canopies were extruded aluminum components, including sturdy gutter beams and 2 ¾” deck pans made from 6063 Aluminum Alloy.

Additionally, we installed extruded aluminum panels with integral screw bosses, incorporated over each entrance, producing a sleek, industrial surface. Our team’s expertise and precision in design, fabrication, and installation resulted in shade structures and wall panels that were in alignment with Link Partners’ styling expectations.

Identity ARCHITECTS focuses on creating experiences that inspire repeat business in retail, hospitality, healthcare, and office spaces. We were excited to collaborate with this experience-focused design company and contribute complementary shade structures for the building’s design ambiance.

With this successful project, we reinforced our reputation as a trusted shade solutions provider while contributing to the creation of a military-inspired industrial space for Black Rifle Coffee in Killeen.

Pet Supplies Plus – Wylie

Pet Supplies Plus - Helios Canopy with 8" Fascia

Pet Supplies Plus – Wylie

November

The Project

Customer needed entrance canopies installed on their retail space. They wanted a turnkey solution instead of coordinating multiple trades to achieve a finished scope of work.

We provided our fully extruded Helios model canopy with 8” fascia and silver anodized powder coat finish.

The GC on the Pet Supplies Plus project in Wylie, TX was Corbet Design + Build. We have completed multiple projects together over the years and enjoy partnering with their team to create beautiful and functional solutions for our clients.

Corbet Design + Build is a boutique design build firm based in Dallas, with more than 16 years of experience in the commercial construction industry. At Corbet Design + Build, they believe the process is just as much a work of art as the final building itself. They have refined and finessed the way they design, plan, and build, eliminating unnecessary surprises and delays. Their unique approach keeps our clients at ease and ensures our projects are delivered on time and on budget. We look forward to the next opportunity to work together.

The project was designed by S3 Architects; a small, yet proficient architectural and interior design firm with innovative ideas and years of experience, lead by owners Lynn E. Sale & Brandon Sale. They love to design, but what really drives their team is problem solving and developing lasting relationships with clients.

Natural Grocers

Natural Grocers - Keller

Natural Grocers

December

The Project

Customer needed canopies and awnings to match the several other Natural Grocers projects that we have completed. The original idea from the owner was for these exterior features to help provide more a modern feel for the stores. A clean look but still very functional in sun control and water drainage.

We provided our standard Helios model canopies and a lone metal awning at the bay door location. Our design and production teams worked seamlessly with the architects to target every detail and meet every deadline.

The GC on this project was McPherson Contractors, Inc. whom we have completed multiple projects with and are looking forward to completing many more.

McPherson Contractors, Inc. recognizes that their primary and most important asset is their people. To be successful, their people must love what they do, and respect the manner in which it is done. They provide an entrepreneurial and positive environment to help their people reach their potential and want to be part of the MCI family for their entire careers. In the same manner, they work with their clients as a team; mutual respect and ongoing relationships provide the foundation for their continued success.

They set high standards for themselves to provide quality service and personal attention to clients, and they pledge to find the best methods to deliver on their promises consistent with their founding values. They constantly strive to improve their means and methods, in order to provide greater value for their clients.

This project was designed by Vega Architecture which are based out of Golden, CO and we are proud to have a great professional relationship them.

Vega started with big ideas. They believed that it was time to redefine architecture — to fully integrate beautiful, highly functional design with rigorous budgetary and planning discipline. They believed they weren’t the only ones who felt this way. So, they built a team of people who share this urgency to create new ways of designing spaces that are both inspiring and fiscally responsible to the owners.

They focused on these ideas so intensely that they created their own, new approach — [a]VDC, the marriage of architecture and virtual design and construction. They told their clients that [a]VDC is more transparent and more accurate than any design process they had ever experienced. Then they proved it on real projects. And they are refining this approach with every new project they take on. Greater accuracy. More detailed planning. Freeing them to create excellent architecture.
