Living Screen® serves as infill in exterior brick wall openings and as a barrier (with perforated plate on one side) at service enclosures at this university campus in Philadelphia. TWG provided panels in varying sizes to match the existing dimensions and posts for mounting the perimeter fencing.
Exterior cladding for this multi-story parking facility is achieved using hundreds of perforated panels mounted to steel tubing. Panels are arranged in a pattern that allows for occasional gaps and overlaps on a large radius. The slotted openings in each panel provide excellent shading while maintaining a level of transparency both day and night.
A pedestrian bridge connecting a transit center to nearby neighborhoods, the design is an abstract “fish” that spans the Interstate 205 corridor. Special shapes of galvanized welded wire were created by TWG to fit the bridge’s unique configuration.
Landscaping has recently redefined the northbound entry onto Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Northeast Portland, Oregon; included in the design is a curvilinear and gently sloping screen wall made by TWG out of perforated corten steel. The weathered but warm appearance of the steel contrasts well with the lush green plantings surrounding it.
Perforated plates create a tall vertical screen that undulates across three facades of this parking structure for Legacy Emanuel in Portland, Oregon. The strength of interconnecting bent panels allows for greater spanning distances and minimal connection points. Hole openings in each panel admit ample daylight while maintaining security.
471 framed and powder coated panels are applied to all four facades of this parking facility. The system devised is a modification of standard Living Screen®, with wire mesh on one face to promote climbing plant growth and perforated plate on the opposite face to provide visual interest and security. The perforated pattern (Matrix) was specially designed by the Architect in collaboration with TWG’s Engineering team; the seemingly random array […]
Perforated panels line this feature fountain near the entrance to the Denver Tech Center. Large planes of stainless steel are perforated with round openings and form a gently curved wall, one that allows water to trickle and splash down its face from an upper pool. In the lower pool, triangular steel boxes seem to float on the surface and surround the jetted fountain heads from which columns of water erupt.
Exterior signage at one of the largest shopping centers in the state of Oregon includes TWG-provided panels of perforated metal as a backdrop. Other applications include various forms of woven wire sunshading: planes that extend horizontally above storefront windows and decorative angled screens that cast long shadows across stucco facades. Welded wire was also used in way-finding applications on the mall site.
Woven wire covers a massive galvanized steel framework and creates a dramatic courtyard entry; screen shapes are cut and formed to a custom fit. This two-storied arch provides a sturdy structure for climbing vines and mimics the graceful form of the Fremont Bridge in the distance. Elsewhere around the building, perforated panels provide security at garage entry doors and allow for ventilation.
A residential fence in Chicago, Illinois, that uses both slotted perforated plate and welded wire to create a surround of Living Screen®. In the years since the installation, ivy growth has matured and intertwined inside the screen’s framework. The post-mounted design incorporates a hinged gate and custom mail slot. TWG provided both the screens and the posts.
