Hemlock Green CastleTop® Panels Define Architectural Identity at Catherine Commons

Originally Published as: Student Apartments: ATAS International Ithaca, New York

One of the Catherine Commons buildings, Building 4, near Cornell University, is clad in and has on its roof ATAS’ CastleTop® panel in .032 aluminum in the shade of Hemlock Green. CastleTop® is a flat diamond-shaped shingle that can be used in wall and roof applications, offering easy installations with its concealed fasteners. The CastleTop® panel is a popular design choice because of its design flexibility, availability of different colors from over 40+ choices and custom color capabilities, and the ability to be combined to create interesting patterns. The panel makes just as bold of a statement chosen in a singular shade, as it is used in Catherine Commons to create a striking look. The Hemlock Green CastleTop®’s richness contrasts against the Charcoal Grey Versa-Line panels on adjacent walls, making the building lush with textures and visual appeal. The color and panel choices feel deliberate—simultaneously constructing buildings that stand out along a Collegetown street and are inspired by the surrounding trees that change with the swings of upstate New York seasons.
