CUPA PIZZARAS have provided their lightweight CUPACLAD® slate rainscreen cladding system for One Museum Place in Atlanta’s arts district.

The building provides luxury apartments and has become an iconic view of the city due to its smart combination of three different cladding materials.

CUPACLAD® is a competitive and sustainable alternative for cladding with a combination of highly durable tectonic slate, new fixing systems and rainscreen cladding efficiency. Natural slate is well known for its resistance and durability to any type of weather,

The geometry of the building also required using three different slate patterns. The slate units used for the design range from 25x30cm to 30x15cm and 30x25 cm, so pieces had to be custom cut.

These ventilated façade systems have been developed to be able to adapt to any kind of project combining alternative fastening methods and slate formats.
