We are pleased to share an update from our project in Los Angeles at 11755 Wilshire. This project combines large format (10' x 40') barrier wall panels and small format rainscreen panels. Each wall design offers pros and cons, which we will present next week in a long-form article.

We are pleased to share an update on one of our previous projects, the Starwood Capital Headquarters in Miami Beach, completed in 2022. The project was executed in collaboration with Gensler, Coastal Construction, and Brodson Construction. This project exemplifies meticulous design and architectural finesse while demonstrating a commitment to excellence in every detail. The intricate GFRC wall shows our innovation, enriching Miami Beach's architectural landscape with its distinctive presence and Art Deco inspirations.

Article by Building Blocks Facades CEO, Kevin Miske, explaining the risks of using FRC instead of GFRC for architectural cladding applications.

601 Washington Avenue, one of the first new-construction hotels in Miami’s historic South Beach, was a successful collaboration between Building Blocks and Morris Adjmi Architects in 2019. Our work on the design, fabrication, and installation of the GFRC façade has stood the test of time, demonstrating the enduring quality and resilience of our materials against the elements. 601 Washington Ave/Good Times Hotel is a hub of hospitality and urban excellence in this dynamic neighborhood. With its scalloped glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) façade, this iconic building pays homage to the neighborhood’s Art Deco landmarks while introducing a fresh, contemporary design to the landscape. Join us as we embark on this journey of innovation and excellence as Building Blocks Facades continues to deliver GFRC and UHPC facades to the South Florida market.
