FOLONIS ARCHITECTURE SILVERLAKE, CALIFORNIA, USA
TESLA
At the crossroad of the Third Street Promenade and Santa Monica Place, with Michael W. Folonis Architects and Arktura’s Solutions Studio® guidance, Tesla developed a facade inspired by the namesake of the company, Nikola Tesla, and magnetic flux diagrams to wrap the exterior facade of their flagship auto showroom. Translating the inspired brief, Arktura utilized propietary software to develop the relationship between magnetic flux and electron decay. The resulting facade is visually impactful and filters heat, sunlight, and serves as a rain shield while representing the electric propulsion’s linear energy release.

ESI DESIGN SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, USA
160 W SANTA CLARA
ESI Design’s reimagined interior lobby of 160 W Santa Clara, extends to the grand exterior entry with a Vapor® Graphic Perf® hybrid interior and exterior installation featuring RGB backlighting that is programmed to cycle through illumination shows, both day and night. In a nod to both its locations in Silicon Valley and the Santa Clara valley, the custom perforations developed in concert with the Arktura Design team mimic the ones and zeroes of digital code and meander into organic patterns, creating a coded map of the area’s waterways. The backlighting fades in and out of different gradients, providing movement and soothing spectral shifts that establish a welcoming, dynamic, and coveted character to visitors and tenants alike.

SIMPSON COULTER STUDIO HENDERSON, NEVADA, USA
SECTA
Southeast Career Technical Academy, a magnet public high school in Nevada, required a facade to protects its students and its building from the Las Vegas heat. Simpson Coulter Studio sought out Arktura to design an exterior system that would provide sun-shielding and evoke pride by incorporating the school mascot’s image - the roadrunner - and signage for SECTA’s campus. The stunning rendition of the imagery was made possible by Arktura’s Graphic Perf®, which uses propietary software to render tonal variations in perforated panels. The resulting exterior mimics higher-educational campuses and provides ample natural light within its learning spaces.

CARPENTER SELLERS DEL GATTO ARCHITECTS LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, USA
UNLV
Carpenter Sellers Del Gatto Architects designed the new Hospitality Haall of UNLV’s William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration. Arktura worked with Del Gatto to develop the Secare® facade, to add texture that is visible from both outside and inside the structure, creating an impressive visual feature. Del Gatto strived to mirror the experience the students would have entering the hospitality industry as part of UNLV’s premier program in the building’s architecture by creating a space that reflects the industry’s finest resorts. The LEED Silver Certified hall’s glass entrance is cloaked in a Secare® facade of jagged steel tubes by Arktura. This facade contributes to the campus’s eclectic presence. Still, it exudes a visually dynamic and permanent presence while simultaneously reducing the harsh desert sun’s western exposure by up to 60% for its occupants.

Los Angeles-based firm Warren Techentin Architecture enlisted Arktura to design and manufacture its Elysian Fields exterior feature facade. The cladding comprised of Exterior Graphic Perf® designed in tandem with Arktura’s Solutions Studio® to pay homage to nearby automotive body shops. The perforated and formed aluminum panels gently curve along Sunset Boulevard providing protection against the harsh sun. It supports flared voids to allow the inclusion of expansive sliding windows for the residences within. In keeping up with the ever-changing eclectic character of Los Angeles, this project provides a parametric poem of perforations to the nieghborhood it graciously nests within.

PARKDALE COMMUNITY CENTER The new Parkdale Recreation center opened, featuring custom rain screens, designed by Carpenter Sellers Del Gatto, as a beacon for
the neighborhood and was honored as an AIA Design Award Winner. Arktura’s Graphic Perf® exterior system was used to provide a warm welcome and homage to the surrounding community. The aluminum panels were designed and fabricated - down to each indivudal hole size and placement - to combine striking text within the facade’s artistic expressive character. The panel cladding combines beautifully with the salvaged wood and metal components reused in the new structure from the previous community center that was demolished for this project. The new center serves as a beacon and symbol for the community’s culture and recreational resources it provides.

MORGAN PHOA LIBRARY & RESIDENCE
STUDIO PALI FEKETE ARCHITECTS SILVERLAKE, CALIFORNIA, USA
MORGAN PHOA LIBRARY & RESIDENCE In 1926, oil tycoon Edward Petitfils, in true “California Style” commissioned Wallace Neff, iconic early 20th century architect, to design what would become the historical Petitfils. Almost a century later, the legacy renews as its new owners request a renovation by Studio Pali Fekete Architects to modernize the home. SPFA worked with the Secretary of Interior to preserve the historic homes’ distinctive character and maintained its landmark designation while uniting the house with modern advances, technologies, materials, and insight. Arktura manufactured the exterior Graphic Perf® screen facade that was part of the new additions in the preservation efforts. In support of the preservation, the perforation mimics the “original home’s precast concrete window grilles.” The perforated bronze anodized aluminum panels open and close on hinges, providing the homeowner with clear views, intimate privacy, and sun-shielding options. Now named the Morgan Phoa Library & Residence, the project has garnered awards in preservation, restoration, and adaptive reuse for SPFA.

TYSONS The renovation of 1676 International, Tysons Drive involved the transformation of the entrance from a heavy canopy to something that would be light and inviting. This was accomplished with a large tapered form that draws people inside. The form is also further emphasized and highlighted by a custom scripted gradient pattern of backlit perforations that transition to a solid relief pattern further in. The combination of the backlighting and the champagne color create a glowing entrance, particularly at night.
