Patina Fiber Cement at Mixed-Use Development | American Fiber Cement

AFC provides durable and versatile fiber cement solutions for a variety of architectural applications. The Crabtree Mixed-Use Development in Raleigh, NC, utilized AFC’s Patina fiber cement panels for its exterior cladding, because of their durability against harsh weather conditions.

Uniquely positioned between low-density development and Raleigh’s denser, urban core, Crabtree Mixed-Use Development in Raleigh, North Carolina is a vibrant destination that blends residential, retail, and office spaces. Its effective plaza design and landscaping were key elements in creating this compelling space that draws residents and customers.

The project’s design addressed several challenges, including its location in a floodway. Architects worked closely with structural engineers to ensure the building could withstand potential flood conditions without excessive design loads. They also chose Patina high-density fiber cement panels for the exterior due to their durability, aesthetic appeal, low maintenance, fire safety, and ability to withstand harsh weather conditions.
