A Parkade™ metal fabric system from Cambridge Architectural provides an eye-catching, durable and sustainable exterior cladding for the Santa Monica Civic Center parking garage in Santa Monica, CA.
The 900-space parking structure is the first of its kind, boasting numerous green design and construction practices, including the use of Cambridge architectural mesh. In terms of both visual interest and performance, the mesh sets new expectations for parking garages of the future.
The Cambridge Parkade mesh system provides a striking facade at the entrance to the garage, and acts as a space divider to conceal the building's stairs. Mesh is a recyclable and extremely durable building component that withstands an environment adjacent to a major freeway and just blocks from the ocean.
Cambridge woven metal fabric is a visually-striking material that brings unmatched functionality, affordability and sustainability to any kind of parking structure.
Parkade systems provide cladding with benefits like ventilation, fall protection, visibility, headlight attenuation, safety and security. Cambridge offers a wide range of metal fabric patterns and attachment hardware, and always provides comprehensive design and engineering assistance.
Construction on the Santa Monica Civic Center parking garage was completed in January 2008. The project team consists of architect Moore Ruble Yudell Architects & Planners, Santa Monica, CA and contractor/installer Woodbridge Glass, Tustin, CA.

Cambridge to Exhibit at
AIA 2009 |
Cambridge Architectural will showcase their very latest woven metal patterns and systems at the AIA 2009 National Convention and Design Exposition at The Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA, April 30 – May 2. In their ongoing dedication to contributing to sustainable architecture, Cambridge elected to build a booth that engages attendees without using unnecessary energy. The booth's floor will be made with recycled carpet and the display will not use electric lighting. After the show, the booth will be saved and re-used for future events.
Cambridge Architectural comes to AIA in 2009 with the intention of educating show visitors about the sustainability of architectural mesh, and the almost limitless ways it can be employed – particularly with its solar shading and durable, view-and-airflow-maintaining characteristics.
