Meriam Park is an innovative and sustainable community located in Chico, California, combining modern urban design with traditional neighborhood principles. The project seamlessly blends aesthetic appeal with functionality, creating an environment that encourages collaboration, innovation, and lasting sustainability. The CW36 panel is an essential element of the exterior design of the Market Shopping Center, contributing to a cohesive and thoughtfully curated material palette. Its sleek, 7/8” corrugated structure provides a linear, modern aesthetic that ties in seamlessly with the other exterior materials selected for the project. This creates a unified and visually compelling design language across the entire façade.
The CW36’s smooth steel exterior, finished with a durable PVDF coating, ensures long-lasting protection against the elements while preserving its appearance over time. In addition to its clean, contemporary look, the panel offers easy installation and low maintenance. The Standing Seam SR2 panel is another key feature of the Market Shopping Center’s roof design. Offering the look of traditional metal standing seams with the added benefit of an insulated metal panel, the SR2 is an ideal choice for both new construction and retrofit applications. Its field-seamed, hidden fastener joinery provides a clean, seamless look. The SR2 panel’s weathertight design ensures maximum protection against the elements, while the composite construction simplifies the design process.
By combining the exterior aesthetic, weather barrier, insulation, and vapor barrier in one panel, the SR2 simplifies the roof system, making it an ideal solution for energy-efficient, long-lasting performance. “The Standing Seam SR2 panel delivers the perfect balance of strength, durability and aesthetic appeal,” said Brian Ng, VP of Engineering. “The standing seam design not only enhances the architectural profile of any building but also ensures weather resistance and thermal performance, aligning well with the project’s performance and design goals.”
Meriam Park’s Market Shopping Center is a great example of how design and sustainability can work together to create functional, vibrant spaces. The CW36 and SR2 panels not only meet the aesthetic demands of the project but also contribute to its durability and energy efficiency. By choosing AWIP’s innovative products, the project ensures long-term success and a lasting positive impact on the community.
