Parkitecture: A Timeless Design Philosophy

In the late 1800’s, the National Park Service (NPS) sought to create structures that blended seamlessly with the natural environment. This “Parkitecture” aesthetic encompasses a diverse range of structures, from hotels and lodges to campgrounds, administrative facilities, fire towers, and more. One of the challenges facing Parkitecture is the reliance on traditional materials, such as thick, textured wood shingles, which are now restricted in many areas due to fire hazards.

Spengler Industries Provides the Ideal Solution

At Spengler Industries, we manufacture high-end, long-lasting metal roofing and building envelope systems that provide forward-thinking solutions to environmental concerns. Climate-related challenges like
heavy snow loads, wildfires, high winds, torrential rain and corrosive marine environments give us an opportunity to shine as an exceptional design-build partner for Parkitecture projects.

Our architectural solutions blend seamlessly with nature. With a dedication to harmonious beauty, leak-proof performance, and maintenance-free longevity, our company embodies the principles of Parkitecture. As the architectural landscape evolves, Spengler Industries shapes structures that not only stand the test of time, but also enhance the natural wonders they are set against.

A Tricky Balance

Sustainable Building Practices

Construction and development activities in a national park can have adverse effects on wildlife, vegetation, water quality and natural landscapes. Eco-friendly planning minimizes environmental disruption and resource consumption and shows respect. When you build, you want it to last.

Safety Standards

Visitors flock to a national park to experience the miracles of the natural world. We upgrade and maintain the infrastructure to exceed safety standards. You want to enjoy the wonders of nature, not get trapped in an unsafe structure.

Compliance

Many national parks contain significant historical and cultural sites, including archaeological ruins, historic buildings, and culturally significant landscapes. Before any project or restoration begins, we must comply with a complex array of laws, regulations and policies at the federal, state and local levels.

Weather Conditions

It’s natural to experience extreme elements in a national park. However, over time, these conditions cause wear and tear on the building materials, leading to deterioration, corrosion, and structural damage. Our products minimize the damages, can weather any storm and still remain pristine.
