Facades Denver, Colorado, USA
The Aurora Cultural & Innovation Center Facade Project
The Aurora Cultural & Innovation Center in Denver uses custom white perforated aluminum panels on a wave-like double-skin facade inspired by the Rocky Mountains.
The Challenge
The community hub needed a landmark exterior that filtered strong sunlight, reduced energy use, and expressed a dynamic mountain-inspired architectural identity.
Our Solution
Custom double-curved PVDF coated perforated aluminum veneer panels were fabricated with gradient mixed 20 mm and 30 mm staggered circular holes.
