Florida Project Spotlight
Ocean Gardens Nautical Gift Shop
This Spotlight features a retail metal building in The Florida Keys for the folks at Ocean Gardens. The project featured custom shaped windows on the gable ends to allow for as much light as possible inside the store and custom below eave canopies on the street facing sides.
Comfort and cooling costs dictated the use of high-r banding insulation in the roof which was left exposed for effect. Exposed HVAC ducting and custom nautical themed lighting add to the appeal of the interior. Custom finishes and quality interior buildout helped to make this project a stunning success.
Florida Project Spotlight
Commercial Steel Building Erecting
This Spotlight features a time-lapse video of the erecting of the Coppertail Brewery in Tampa. The 67′ x 179′ building with an eave height of 31′ easily provided space for brewing equipment, while meeting the wind load requirements of the Florida Building Code.
Partial walls for masonry and a trolley beam for a 4 ton crane add to the complexity of this project. High-r banding insulation helped to minimize building cooling costs while providing a comfortable environment. Be sure to check out the building when you visit the Coppertail Brewery and enjoy some of the mastery of their craft!
The History of Islamorada
Thought to be named by early Spanish explorers as the “purple island”, Islamorada is located directly between Miami and Key West. Establishment of the Islamorada post office and railroad stop around 1908 helped to establish the location of Islamorada.
Previously, it was just referenced as Upper Matecumbe Key. Islamorada suffered a near direct hit by the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 (known as Hurricane Three as they didn’t name hurricanes at the time). Hurricane Three was a monster storm with maximum sustained winds of 185mph.
An eleven car train near Islamorada was washed off the tracks from powerful waves and storm surge that hit it. The storm took the lives of some 423 people and a memorial to them exists today at mile-marker 82.
While referred to as Islamorada for much of the 20th century, it was not until 1998 that its four livable islands were officially incorporated as “Islamorada, Village of Islands”.
Filming of the popular Netflix series Bloodline took place in and around Islamorada, bringing a new level of attention and notoriety to the area.
