The award-winning Harwyn office pods have taken the design world by storm offering beautifully designed prefabricated modular spaces. The small team at Harwyn is dedicated to innovative design working with the “100 to 1 concept ratio” which, as the designers explain, “…for every 100 great ideas we put to paper, one will emerge as exceptional to make its way from sketchpad to design.”
3A Composites USA is pleased to announce the introduction of a new web-based custom-color request program for Alucobond® aluminum composite material (ACM). This new program – which is accessed via the AlucobondUSA.com website – is designed to make it easier than ever to request Alucobond samples in custom colors and to track sample production progress.
A big compliment to architects is hearing that one of their building designs has become a recognizable landmark.
That’s the case for architects at the Los Angeles office of Arquitectonica International Corp. who designed the Olume residential building in San Francisco’s Mission District with a unique multi-layered cube-like metal façade featuring a total of five custom earth-toned colors of Alucobond® Plus aluminum composite material (ACM).
