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).

In fact, this new 12-story medical office tower was built over an existing seven-story garage featuring 600 parking spaces.
