Featured Projects
In an effort to educate the architect, specifier, contractor and owner, CDA maintains a library of interesting and technologically innovative copper projects. These projects include contemporary work highlighting the use of copper in new building construction and renovation in both interior and exterior applications. This section will continuously present profiles of projects of interest including details, specifications and interviews where required to highlight the project's creative use of copper and its alloys.
Please note that this page contains profiles of projects involving Standing Seam Roofs and Standing Seam Walls. Please use the links in the right hand navigation bar to view other project profiles.
Standing Seam Roofs
Project: Mable Peters Caruth Center for The Communities Foundation of Texas
Location: Dallas, TX
Copper System: Roofing, Wall Cladding, Gutters
Architect: Booziotis & Company Architects, Dallas, TX
Contractor: ARMETCO, Kellar, TX
Project Description: Conveniently located by the busy North Central Freeway Corridor in Dallas, Texas, the new Mable Peters Caruth Center provides a beautiful meeting and office space for a variety of non-profit organizations.
Sweeping curved double lock standing seam copper roofs are intended to weather over time to the typical dark brown/green patina that naturally develops in the region.
Both the tone of the naturally weathering copper roofs and gutters, and pre-patinated copper wall cladding coordinate beautifully with the locally quarried Texas limestone used elsewhere on the building.
Project Name: San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts
Location: San Angelo, Texas
Architect: Hardy, Holzman, Pfeiffer Architects
Copper System: Standing Seam Multi-curved Roof
Standing Seam Walls
Project: Rees Plaza
Location: Oklahoma City, OK
Copper System: Standing Seam Wall Cladding
Architect: Rees Associates, Inc., Oklahoma City, OK
Project Description: Located in the citys premier lakeside restaurant and office park, Rees Plaza reflects its natural environment and pays tribute to the surrounding Lake Hefner Trails with its unique earth-water design. Natural materials, such as copper, stacked-stone veneer, and wood, are implemented into the design, respectfully "blending" the building into its park setting. The side of the building facing land incorporates naturally weathering copper, wood, and stone elements that appear to "anchor" it to the land.

Submit Your Project!
Architects and contractors who have completed recent projects are invited to submit their projects for consideration to be featured in this section by completing the Project Submission Form.
If you have already completed the submission form, you can email it to CDA [include representative image(s), if available, as an attachment to the email]. The submissions will be reviewed by CDA and if deemed appropriate for inclusion, you will be contacted by the assigned Architecture Regional Manager for verification and details.
CDA has also developed the Copper in Architecture Handbook which is a comprehensive resource presenting as much information about copper's properties, existing technology and application to the educational design and construction field as presently exists. CDA's architecture handbook is part of a multi-faceted program geared to the student, architect or contractor who is involved in the design or installation of copper, brass or bronze as an architectural element.
