Living Screen® provides a secure perimeter around a courtyard and garden space for this innovative project in Chicago, Illinois. Post-mounted panels and gates enclose an area that is used for educational purposes, as residents are taught how to cultivate crops in a space that was formerly an asphalt parking lot. As climbing plants grow to maturity, leaves will buffer the sight and sound of passing vehicular traffic.

138 Living Screen® panels are installed on two facades of this six-story parking facility in San Antonio, Texas. Many of the panels measure 9’ by 21’; to complete the installation, some screens are mounted above one another to give the illusion on a single panel spanning from ground to parapet. This “stacked” assembly will allow for well-tended climbing vines to extend the entire height of the building – a Texas-sized […]

Mounted to the southeast facade of this parking structure are several installations that demonstrate not only the capabilities of tension screen as a cladding and sunshading system but also its possibilities as an eye-catching signage display. In this instance, the graphic images were applied by an artist whose spray booth size limitations forced screens to be manufactured in 10′ heights; typically tension screens may extend greater than 20′ in height […]

This parking structure’s challenging site – located on a steep hillside along a busy boulevard and fronting an urban park – made for the type of project TWG embraces. The architectural firm’s intent was to create a parking facility that, by design, has as little visual impact on its surroundings as possible. One method for achieving this goal is the extensive use of TWG’s Living Screen® in order to soften […]

TWG provided stock welded wire panels that were welded by the installer to enable a match to the arcing structural form of this steel pedestrian/cycling bridge. Panels were galvanized prior to installation. The span above busy McLoughlin Boulevard allows the Springwater Corridor path to continue from urban neighborhoods through natural wetlands and green spaces.

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.
