For the new Linny Pacillo Parking Garage in downtown Anchorage, Alaska, kpb architects needed to design a skin for the structure that would effectively ventilate and screen headlight glare from the street below. kpb and Davis Constructors worked closely with Construction Specialties Custom Grille Team to engineer and test multiple grille design options that would mitigate potential ice and snow buildup on the parking garage's exterior face. The result is a unique architectural design that is highly effective for a severe northern climate.
