Today’s travelers seek memorable experiences, and with endless options available, choosing where to book often comes down to curated amenities and a property’s unique aesthetics. Driven by a desire for visually impressive spaces worth documenting and sharing, visitors expect their destination to boast a sophisticated identity and project a tangible sense of luxury from the moment of arrival. For the architects and designers shaping these spaces, every decision about the exterior is critical. A compelling street presence sets the tone, framing the grand arrival experience guests crave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

As hospitality design continues to advance, properties are becoming welcoming, community-centered hubs that inject visual energy into local neighborhoods and downtown corridors. Executing these ambitious designs requires materials that perform without compromise, balancing bold aesthetics with stringent building safety standards. By incorporating durable, high-performing ALUCOBOND\u00ae PLUS into their plans, architects can confidently specify fa\u00e7ades that meet today\u2019s strict fire performance requirements set by the International Building Code (IBC) while delivering true character.
Utilizing a robust range of brilliant colors and rich finishes allows design teams to create eye-catching landmarks that stand out in any landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supporting this kind of customization and creativity, 3A Composites Americas delivers sustainable, high-quality materials and systems engineered to elevate hospitality properties. With 85 ALUCOBOND PLUS standard finish options and nearly unlimited custom colors, the architectural community can seamlessly give shape to their great ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following featured projects show how ALUCOBOND PLUS is utilized across a range of properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia anchors the South Philadelphia sports and entertainment district, where the design team set out to create a structure that would seamlessly blend modern styling with the vibrant spirit of the city. The architects achieved this by creating a fa\u00e7ade that marries expansive glass with precise metallic accents, resulting in a sleek profile that harmonizes with the skyline. As daylight transitions to night, the structure transforms into a luminous beacon that beckons visitors inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To achieve this dynamic presence, the design team utilized five custom colors of ALUCOBOND\u00ae PLUS, which provided the exceptional flatness and clean lines necessary to execute the complex, modern silhouette. By extending this sophisticated look and feel from the building envelope to the interior, the design team created a natural transition from the street to the interior. This project was completed by BLT Architects prior to joining Perkins Eastman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
