EIFS HERO OF THE YEAR

Liv.Able Showroom

High Point, NC

Located in High Point, North Carolina (the “furniture capital of the world”), this project displays collections of furniture that attract entry-level to high-end consumers. Specially engineered scaffolding was created by Southern Wall Systems to accommodate the compound curving at the top of the 30 foot by 70 foot panels. The bold design clearly demonstrates the design flexibility that can be accomplished by using EIFS, and the project is most deserving of the honor and recognition of the 2018 EIFS Hero of the Year Award.
