Two stainless steel woven wire patterns, held in tension, clad the entire western and southwestern façades of this six-story parking structure. The weave pattern at ground level surrounds the entire structure: Venetian Waterways 5C is a custom design to provide security with greater transparency. The weave applied to the upper western and southwestern façades, Venetian Waterways I, is a standard pattern that provides similar transparency, excellent sunshading and a reflective […]

An elegant interior use of woven wire, Fat’s Asia Bistro showcases stainless steel to great effect in its featured wine cabinets. The weave chosen ensures both secure storage of the bottles and visual accessibility for the restaurant’s patrons and staff.

Over one mile of TWG’s wire rail infill was installed along the pedestrian and bicycling path that skirts the Willamette River’s eastern edge, including the overlooking Steel Bridge Riverwalk. The Eastbank Esplanade connects with downtown Portland and features multiple examples of local artwork, scenic vistas and natural habitat in its three-mile loop. The project received the Design Award of Merit from ASLA in 2004.

Sturdy woven wire panels cover the outdoor recreation yard at this correctional facility. As specified, a heavier wire gauge was provided and set within a steel framework. Besides meeting the project’s rigid requirements for safety and security, the finished installation provides good sunshading for the courtyard below.

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.

An organic artwork wall surrounding a private residential garden. Dichroic glass pieces are placed within a 4” x 4” x 3/8” wire grid. The kinetic glass squares are continually affected by the surrounding foliage, light and wind movement, creating a serene setting for meditation.

In creative hands, TWG’s woven wire takes on the appearance of stained glass infill at this retail art gallery in Sacramento, California. For window coverings and an arcing gateway, wire of varying weave patterns is crafted into shapes that match the organic forms conceived by the artist.

As part of the remodel of a 1963-era building, sun shading is a key component to the new “green” initiatives embarked upon by the building’s owner. TWG provided framed panels of welded wire that are installed as horizontal shades above each exterior window. The panels, coupled with high-performance windows, work to reduce heat gain and energy costs while creating shadow lines for a dynamic exterior on a light-colored brick and […]
