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.

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.

Spring Valley Construction Company is a general contractor that is focused on creating an enjoyable experience. With over 4 decades of experience, they are proud to serve North Texas and have made a name for themselves in several market segments.

We were able to provide this as a turnkey solution and installation was in Garland, right in our backyard. While we’re happy to work all across the country, it is always a joy to do fantastic work in our home state and local market.

This project was created for OM Housing. OM Housing is an award-winning, full service real estate firm that develops, owns, and operates high-quality, eco-friendly multi-family communities across Texas.

With such a high standard set, it’s no wonder that the property at Lakeview Pointe was nominated and won the Dallas Business Journal Best Real Estate Deal in 2022.

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.

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.

The Terraces at Solana | Custom Sunshade & Equipment Screen | Project of the Month

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.

The Project

Fox Electric is a commercial electrical company in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Arch-Fab has had a long-standing relationship with Bob Moore Construction and worked directly with RGA Architects on this project.

Through our strong relationships with both RGA Architects and Bob Moore Construction, our preconstruction specialists received an invitation to bid. Through their effective communication and our reputation in the industry, we were able to propose the best awning solution for the Fox Electric Headquarters.

Arch-Fab was in competition with another company for the bid, but the client requested a longer warranty on the finish. The initial bid included a powder coat finish so it was imperative to add additional finishing options to the standing seam awning proposal.

We explored options and communicated them with Bob Moore Construction. Ultimately, we were able to come up with a solution that provided the best product that matched both their budget and needs for the project. Arch-Fab’s in-house powder coating offers a 1-year warranty and Kynar is a durable, long-term finish with a 20-year warranty. Our bid offered both these options to create a comparison in price and the client chose the Kynar finish to meet their intent of the longer warranty.

The awnings truly look stunning at the Electric Fox Headquarters and were completed on time. Since working on Fox Electric Headquarters, Arch-Fab has continued to build a strong relationship with both Bob Moore Construction and RGA Architects and has partnered with both on several additional projects.

The Clariden School | Project of the Month

The Project

The Clariden School in Southlake, TX is a premiere private STEM School focusing on educating students from preschool to 12th grade. Arch-Fab has been a long-time partner with Steele & Freeman and worked directly with WRA Architects on this project to supply and manufacture new awnings for a refresh. 

The Clariden School remodel came about after an Arch-Fab Lunch and Learn presentation. The WRA architect and Arch-Fab AEC Representative collaborated on the awnings together and then bid the work to Steele & Freeman.

As an existing building, the Clariden School had existing steel awnings that were showing signs of rust. They were removed to make room for new aluminum awnings with standing seam material. Utilizing the new aluminum awnings ensured that no rust would form on the structures. The frames were mechanically fastened rather than welded as they had been in the steel design. It was also important to incorporate the original colors of the previous awnings and to maintain a fresh look.

In order to make sure these awnings matched the previous ones, the framing of the awnings received a primer treatment of powder coat. Afterward, their painter applied a paint grip for an adhesive surface for the paint. The standing seam was a perfect match to the originals and — adding to durability against the elements — came as a prefinished baked enamel.

With lots of communication to convey how the final look would be achieved in the field, the standing seam awnings came together and refreshed the exterior of The Clariden School.

Arch-Fab has had the pleasure of completing several projects with Steele & Freeman with the intent to do more in the future. WRA Architects is a firm focused on projects in the educational field and Arch-Fab plans to create a stronger partnership with them in the new year.
