MacLachlan Cornelius & Filoni, Inc., 1993.

The client had purchased a fully leased strip mall built in 1960.  It needed updating and a new look.  The budget would not allow for the typical canopy facelift seen at the time: brick veneer columns, stucco faces and standing seam roof.  

Our solution was to develop a family of elements: structural steel frames with steel channels and angles spanning between them to hold the signs, and fiberglass reinforced cement panels to form a playful backdrop against the existing parapet wall.
