METAL TILE PANEL ROOFING SOLVES TOWERING CHALLENGE FOR SAN DIEGO HIGH-RISE CONDOMINIUM
When Dikeakos and Cotter Architects (Vancouver, BC) started planning Park Place, a new luxury condominium and town home development destined to be one of the most prominent buildings in San Diego, they created a design with a strong Mission flavor that reflects the local architectural tradition. A key exterior feature of the 30-story building is a steep-sloped tile roof that covers the upper tower portion of the building where mechanical equipment and service rooms are housed. The use of a metal “tile panel” roofing system manufactured by Met-Tile, Inc. (Ontario, Calif.) provided the desired Mission look while overcoming weight, installation and safety concerns.

A DIVINE EXPANSION AND RENOVATION TURNS TO BENCHMARK ARCHITECTURAL SYSTEMS FOR A CONTEMPORARY REVELATION
The First Presbyterian Church in Morehead City, North Carolina had a wake-up call recently. Their congregation had outgrown the original sanctuary building and they needed to expand their preschool and Sunday School programs, church offices and approximately half of the area needed to support those church programs. And so, a decision was made during a Master Planning Phase led by the original architectural team of Stephens & Francis, p.a. to build a new fellowship hall, able to accommodate 250 diners with necessary support space, renovate remaining structures, and expand existing offices, educational facilities and the music department.
