The Project

PDL Floor Designs is known for creating spaces that blend functionality and style, offering smart flooring solutions and thoughtfully designed architectural features. This month, we had the opportunity to work on a project that reflects exactly that vision, delivering sunshades and canopies that enhance both the look and usability of the space.

We installed six sunshade units, each featuring 8″ shutter blades with a rectangular plate outrigger profile, stacked flat bars for added dimension, and a matching stacked fascia, all finished in standard powder coat colors for a clean, cohesive look. To complement the sunshades, we also installed three Atlas canopies. Two of the canopies feature a 24″ fascia, while one has an 18″ fascia, all crafted from smooth bent aluminum sheets. Deck pan infills and soffits in architectural metal colors provide a modern, polished finish, with frames and fascia in an Anodized Silver powder coat finish to unify the design.

Exchange Circle Business Park | Project of the Month

The Project

FCL Builders, the general contractor for Exchange Circle Business Park, was seeking a provider to fabricate and install aluminum canopies, sunshades, and window sunscreens for this project.

With a focus on e-commerce, warehousing, cold storage, food production, and manufacturing facilities, FCL Builders has completed over 550 million square feet of industrial spaces throughout the US. They needed a provider with experience and expertise to deliver a high-quality solution within budget and on time.

Architectural Fabrication worked to design, fabricate, and install four Atlas aluminum canopies, twelve sunshades, and forty-four custom window sunscreens for Exchange Circle Business Park. Our team utilized a regal white Kynar finish and gloss white powder coat finish to achieve the desired aesthetic. The window sunscreens were custom-made to fit the building’s specific window sizes and shapes.

By partnering with FCL Builders, we were able to provide a turn-key solution that met their needs and exceeded their expectations.

Exchange Circle Business Park was designed by Macgregor Associates Architects, for Brookfield Properties. Macgregor Associates Architects is a firm with a reputation for excellence in the planning, design, and delivery of a wide range of office and industrial project types. They have achieved their reputation by creating buildings that are sensibly and efficiently planned, well-constructed, and aesthetically pleasing.

Our close relationship with Macgregor Associates Architects allowed us to seamlessly integrate our solutions into the design of Exchange Circle Business Park, resulting in a beautiful and functional building.

The Project

The General Contractor on this project, Martin Harris Construction, was looking for a provider to fabricate several aluminum awnings and an aluminum sunshade for their multi-family project in Las Vegas.

Based on the scope of work on the project, we determined that utilizing both our Helios and Atlas canopies would be the best solution.

We designed, fabricated, and installed 48 Helios canopies, two Atlas canopies, and a tube frame sunshade with a vertical return, all with a dark bronze powder coating to maintain a consistent look across the entire building. We went above and beyond for our client and delivered a stunning solution.

Martin Harris Construction was founded in Nevada and has since expanded to Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and Utah. With years of experience, Martin Harris provides first-hand trade knowledge and a dedication to providing excellence, with the assurance that any subcontractor selected will be held to their high standard.

The Project

Scott + Reid General Contractors were looking for a custom design to act as both a sunshade and an equipment screen. Because the building was already standing, they wanted something lightweight that wouldn’t require additional work on the structure of the building. Since a fireplace fan was being hidden, it was necessary to create a design that would both look aesthetically pleasing and still allow the fan to do its job safely.

The project was brought to us by Scott + Reid General Contractors, due to our long standing relationship and the quality of work we provide. Scott + Reid is a unique General Contractor with a location in Addison, with a focus on collaboration and strong communication. Their approach minimizes construction disruptions and truly aims to realize the vision of the project.

We designed, fabricated, and installed a custom sunshade that would double as an equipment screen. To create this custom solution in order to give the equipment ample space to breathe, we created 8 units spanning 40’ with a 48” facia and a 2’6” projection. With a powder coat finish, our custom sunshade provided a beautiful solution.

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

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.
