The Project

In collaboration with Skyrise Construction and CNK Architects, Arch-Fab delivered multi-scope shade solutions for the 9-building mixed-use development, Hometown Dolce Phase III, which includes the Sovereign Hometown Apartments, in North Richland Hills, TX. Having contributed to earlier phases of this development, Arch-Fab was able to ensure Phase III was a smooth and seamless addition.

This project exemplifies how different product models can come together to provide shade, protect the building and residents from the elements, and enhance the aesthetic of a beautifully designed space. This project feature several of Arch-Fab’s most popular products, including our Atlas and Helios canopies with full shade coverage and internal drainage systems. These units were designed with projections ranging from 4′ to 7′ to accommodate different coverage needs, and some units were notched around building corners to optimize their spatial functionality.

Upon entry of the building one retail center, an Atlas canopy was designed with a radiused fascia and frame, along with deck pan and soffit notching around the building columns, which allowed the unit to provide shade and drainage while seamlessly wrapping around the curved façade. The lower and upper levels also include louvered sunshades with 1″x3″ shutter blades, color-matched to the window mullions and other building details, creating a cohesive look.

What we’re most proud of on this project includes the complex notching around the building corners or captured units between building walls, which were carefully designed, measured, cut, and installed to wrap and fit the building perfectly. Additionally, the mitered corners on the sunshade units align seamlessly with the building corners, and the Titan canopy and sunshade hybrid units offer the perfect balance of shade and aesthetic appeal.

Pulling off this level of precision and customization would not be possible without the dedication and hard work of Skyrise Construction and CNK Architects, as well as our amazing team at Arch-Fab!

The Project

Steele & Freeman sought a distinctive architectural element for the South Hills High School project in Fort Worth. With their focus on delivering excellence and personalized service, they needed a unique shade solution that would not only provide functional benefits but also align with the innovative vision of the school.

Arch-Fab, known for crafting custom shade solutions, was enlisted as a partner in this endeavor. The challenge was to seamlessly integrate a striking architectural feature inspired by DNA strands into the school’s environment.

Arch-Fab rose to the challenge by designing, fabricating, and installing a one-of-a-kind custom trellis for South Hills High School. The design, inspired by the structure of DNA, featured 4″ square tube posts with beams projecting out, connected by 2″ x 6″ tubes. The intricate “DNA” pattern was achieved with 1″ pipes ascending and descending between the beams.

The entire structure was finished with Kynar Regal White for a clean aesthetic, complemented by Polycarbonate panels on top, ensuring durability and functionality. Arch-Fab’s comprehensive approach, from design to installation, resulted in a visually striking and functionally sound architectural feature.

Kline Hardin, with over 30 years of award-winning design experience, shared our commitment to delivering top-notch solutions. This partnership underscored the seamless coordination between all those involved in the project.

The Project

Steele & Freeman, seasoned builders with a 44-year legacy, approached us for the Bedford Boys Ranch project, aiming to elevate the recreational space. Their need was clear: premium shade solutions to enhance the new community space.

Collaborating with OWT Architects for the Aquatics building and Halff Architects for the Concession building, we ensured a tailored approach to meet each architect’s unique vision. This project demanded flexibility, and our partnership with both architecture firms allowed us to effectively address their diverse needs.

For the project, we supplied our Atlas and Helios Canopy Systems, aligning with each architect’s vision and tailored to fit each building.

On the Aquatics building designed by OWT Architects, our Atlas units took center stage, featuring a sleek Kynar copper finish. The Atlas unit design allows for adaptability and customization to meet any project’s needs. In this case, we collaborated with another subcontractor, who provided the soffits.

For the Concession building designed by Halff Architects, our Helios units provided effective sun control. The Helios canopies – designed, fabricated, and installed by our expert team – aim for effective simplicity.

Working with OWT Architects on the Aquatics building and Halff Architects on the Concession building showcased our ability to adapt and deliver. Both architecture firms, known for their creative approaches, provided valuable insights throughout the project.

The Project

Integrated Real Estate Group, a distinguished property development and management company headquartered in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, sought to enhance The Watermere at Flower Mound, a retirement residence. They envisioned a project that combined functionality and aesthetics, ensuring a welcoming environment for the residents.

Integrated Real Estate Group required a range of architectural elements to achieve this vision, including Titan Canopies, Standing Seam Awnings, decorative brackets, and multiple Trellises (including cantilevered). The challenge lay in integrating these elements seamlessly into the design while meeting Integrated Real Estate Group’s high standards of quality and durability.

Arch-Fab took on the challenge by meticulously designing, fabricating, and installing the diverse range of products specified by Integrated Real Estate Group. Our team ensured each element met the specific requirements of the project and aligned with the overall architectural vision. The Titan Canopies provided both architectural appeal and weather protection, crafted from robust 6063 Aluminum Alloy.

The Standing Seam Awnings were carefully designed to contribute to the aesthetic plus offer functional shade. The three cantilevered Trellises offer shady spots to rest on the Wateremere’s walking trail, and the two additional Trellises on the property contribute to year-round enjoyment of the outdoor environment for residents. Bringing the entire building design together, the decorative brackets create a cohesive aesthetic across the campus.

Collaborating closely with Arrive Architecture Group, Arch-Fab successfully translated the vision of Integrated Real Estate Group into reality. Arrive Architecture Group, a firm committed to collaborative design and creating spaces that resonate with their purpose and surroundings, played a crucial role in shaping the architectural aspects of this project.

Their dedication to blending style with function ensured the final design not only met the client’s requirements but also added to the overall appeal and comfort of the retirement residence. The strong partnership was instrumental in delivering a project that exceeded expectations in both form and function.
