The Vistawall Architectural Products, a subsidiary of Butler Manufacturing
Group, is constructing a new office and manufacturing facility in Shanghai.
The building is a pre-engineered metal building with an attached two-story
office building. The exterior building materials are horizontal metal
panels and aluminum storefront windows that showcase Vistawall's own
products. The bold design of the cantilevered entrance canopy to the
office building uses white horizontal metal panels on the horizontal
element and granite panels on the vertical element. A two-story atrium
at the office building's entrance has a pyramidal skylight that allows
natural light inside the office areas. The building is situated on the
existing Butler Manufacturing site in Shanghai.
The factory building will produce aluminum storefront elements for Asian
installations.
