Project: Samsung American Headquarters Parking Garage Facade

Location: San Jose, California

Architect: NBBJ

GKD Metal Fabric: Omega 1520

Project Type: Corporate Buildings, Parking Structures

Photography: Rien van Rijthoven

Description: The Samsung American Headquarters Parking Structure is enveloped in Omega 1520 metal fabric, artistically upgraded with color coating from GKD in the design provided by Samsung. The design evokes a nature element as if vines were wending their way from top to bottom. GKD used their special process to layout, apply the coating, match the panels and then install them all on site. GKD also supplied the engineering, substructure and mounting hardware.
