ExxonMobil

Rigidized® Metals’ InvariLux® micro texture clads the exteriors of 26 buildings at ExxonMobil’s Houston, TX campus. The micro texture is naturally cleaning, meaning dirt and grime doesn’t built up on the surface of the material and can wash off with rain water. Additionally, the uniformity of the micro texture reduces glare in a notoriously sunny area. Not only that, when it DOES rain, the stainless steel material doesn’t rust. All of these features combine to make maintenance minimal, and the durability of the product means it will last the entire lifetime of the building. Caption Caption Caption More

Yuliawave store

INTRO The concept of the store is based on natural, monochrome materials that complement each other and are responsible for the bold character of the brand. One of the inspirations was the concrete walls, which we cleaned of paint, showing the aesthetics of concrete and building structures. The lack of a large number of familiar finishing materials on the market has become a challenge for us. The initial idea of using non-finish coatings and showing the "nature" of building materials has made sense. Daniel Annenkov Planning solution The planning solution is built on two halls:main and private. They are separated from each other by a multifunctional core, which comfortably accommodates fitting rooms, an open warehouse area, a manager'... More

1REBEL New ‘RIG’ Workout Concept

Inspired by Tokyo Streets for a Post-Pandemic Era   Hammersmith, London   Based in Hammersmith, APA have closely worked with 1REBEL on their first collaborative design project. The space is entitled ‘RIG’. Previously 1REBEL spaces have explored a ‘night club’ feel but the need for a pivot came with the pandemic.

This new breed of 1Rebel spaces is planned in neighborhood locations, so this new club is local, close to residential streets.  Caption The space and design have moved deeper backstage.

Griffin Middle School

In Frisco, Texas, the new Griffin Middle School campus was designed with modern education in mind, focusing on small learning communities within the school, as well as spaces for larger group gatherings. Spanning over 180,000 square-feet over two stories, the high-traffic areas require durable materials that can withstand the wear and tear of daily school activities. Banker Wire’s architectural woven wire mesh pattern FPZ-16 was chosen by designers for both its sturdiness as well as it’s aesthetic benefits. The iconic curved glass front of the building, as well as the numerous broad windows, create an airy atmosphere in the school’s main hall. FPZ-16’s 66.5% open area produces a strong barrier to ensure the safety o... More

Corporate Office Building

For the design of a new prominent corporate office headquarters located in Little Rock, Arkansas, Polk Stanley Wilcox Architects utilized Banker Wire’s SZ-4 wire mesh pattern—in a stainless steel and brass mixed alloy—to create a striking ceiling installation. Bridging two separate, glass-clad office spaces linked by a five-story, atrium-like structure, the wire mesh-fabricated ceiling visually anchors the interior as a key focal point. Similarly, SZ-4’s placement within the organic ceiling shapes nod to the mountainous exterior landscape while adhering to the building’s safety requirements. “Selected for both its aesthetic and technical qualities, the high-quality nature of Banker Wire’s SZ-4 wire...
