Florida Project Spotlight
Retail Metal Building on Islamorada
This Spotlight features a retail metal building in The Florida Keys for the folks at Ocean Gardens. The project featured custom shaped windows on the gable ends to allow for as much light as possible inside the store and custom below eave canopies on the street facing sides.
Comfort and cooling costs dictated the use of high-r banding insulation in the roof which was left exposed for effect. Exposed HVAC ducting and custom nautical themed lighting add to the appeal of the interior. Custom finishes and quality interior buildout helped to make this project a stunning success.
Florida Project Spotlight
Commercial Steel Building Erecting
This Spotlight features a time-lapse video of the erecting of the Coppertail Brewery in Tampa. The 67′ x 179′ building with an eave height of 31′ easily provided space for brewing equipment, while meeting the wind load requirements of the Florida Building Code.
Partial walls for masonry and a trolley beam for a 4 ton crane add to the complexity of this project. High-r banding insulation help to minimize building cooling costs while providing a comfortable environment. Be sure to check out the building when you visit the Coppertail Brewery and enjoy some of the mastery of their craft!
The History of Homestead
Originally referred to as “Homestead Country”, the name was given to it by railway workers extending the railroad from Miami to Key West and in need for a name for the construction camp at what was the end of the line at that time (an area that was recently opened up for “homesteading”).
Homestead is at the junction of the end of Florida Turnpike and its junction with US1; about 35 miles south of Miami and 25 miles north of Key Largo. Incorporated in 1913, it’s roots are agricultural and it served as a supply town for many of the farms in the area.
Hurricane Andrew changed everything for Homestead in 1992 when when the Category 5 hurricane swept through the area all but leveling most of the structures in the area. The level of destruction from Andrew and scores of newly homeless residents had many thinking that the area would never recover.
Post-Andrew, building codes changed in Florida and in a testimony to the resilient residents, the city was rebuilt. Today it is a vibrant community of nearly 70,000 residents and home to the Homestead Air Force Base.
