ArchInspire is a site devoted to inspiring and unique architectural styles. One entry features a modern farmhouse clad in black zinc. “The use of black cladding is designed to echo the sheet metal clad agricultural barns nearby and to be visually recessive.” One more example of zinc’s appeal in modern architecture, used not only for its durability and sustainability, but also for its undeniable style.

Snowdon Visitors Center
At 1,085 metres, this unique visitor centre is one of the highest building in the UK, responding to one of the most extreme climatic locations: the mountain endures facing winds of 120mph, temperatures that can go below -200C and 5 m of rain every year. The list of special design considerations for this unique project is endless - life cycle costs, building life, sustainable development and complex design considerations.
