FirstHealth Petrarch Panels Case Study

The portion of the building using the Petrach Panels was intended to be the big statement of the overall building composition and lent itself to using a unique material. This portion of the building was meant to be a twisting mass interacting and intersecting with the twisting mass element of the glass curtainwall. We were looking for a unique material but also needed a product that provided both natural colors and natural textures. These two qualities meshed well with the brick masonry used elsewhere on the building façade. One additional advantage of Petrarch is its ability to provide tonal variations of whatever primary color or colors one may select. We ended up with two color tones on this project.

I think everyone who was involved in any way on this project should be pleased with the outcome. Both Omnis and the Petrach team provided great services for our designers from design through construction. More importantly, we hope that those who work in the facility or are visiting for medical treatments are pleased with the facility.

Petrarch panels installed great and is a straightforward product to work with. We would recommend Petrarch to other installers and GCs.

CarolinaREP is incredibly proud to have been involved with the First Health Cancer Center. The CPL Team had a beautiful vision for this important facility which will serve a vital role for the Pinehurst area and the people of North Carolina. Our friends at Advanced Exterior Systems always do first-rate work and this project was no exception. Mixing multiple colors of Petrarch Composite Stone rainscreen panels to achieve a random pattern was no easy feat. Still, their experienced crew achieved this perfectly and brought the architect’s vision to life. Due to their extreme durability and long life, Petrarch panels will ensure that the center stands as a building the community can be proud of for years to come.”
