Wire Mesh Serves As a Dramatic Focal Feature in New Office Tower
As
the first new high-rise office building erected in San Antonio, TX, in
30 years, the recently opened Frost Tower offers more than 460,000 sq.
ft. of Class A+ office and retail space. The expansive ground-level
lobby welcomes employees and guests with dramatic design elements,
including fabricated-metal feature walls creatively adorned with
architectural woven-wire mesh provided by Banker Wire, Mukwonago, WI.
G&H Contracting, Salem, VA, used the wire mesh to fabricate the
feature walls.To get more news about stainless steel architectural mesh, you can visit mesh-fabrics official website.
As a versatile material, architectural wire mesh comes in thousands of
patterns. For this particular application, the design concept, developed
by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, called for a stunning wall covering
to provide visual interest with a glowing effect. Therefore, the design
team selected Banker Wire’s M22-80 woven-wire mesh pattern, which offers
the ability to mix metal alloys to bring out a new dimension of texture
and color characteristics.
For Frost Tower, Banker Wire provided a mesh combining stainless steel for the vertical wires and brass for the horizontal wires. To enhance the visual effect, custom mirror panels spanning 28 ft. high were placed several inches behind the wire mesh.
