Outside Walls
The outside walls of the parking structure were covered in enameled copper squares which gave the exterior a rough, but strikingly bold texture.

Garage Entrance
The enameled copper finished the wall right up to the garage combined entrance and exit. Notice that the parking structure was surrounded by no paking signs, wich gave the garage a decided advantage.

Happy Plaid Apperance
Yet another closer look at another section of enameled copper. This section looked like a county plaid pattern as might be seen on a shirt or under a pair of bib-overalls.

Higher Up
A row of enameled copper squares seen higher up on the face of the parking structure. The colors here had a more formal feel, as might adorn the wall of a doctor's office.

Widely Varied Designs
Another section of the upper parking level illustrated how much each square could differ from all the others. The designs varied widely, but were grouped in places by design.

Weathered Green Copper
Part of one of the upper parking level sections of enameled copper appeared to be composed of weathered copper. This was intentional, however, because of the colors of the enamel selected for each piece.
