Welcome adaptive reuse
The adaptive reuse of a carriage house and barn (top right) at Rockwood Park, Wilmington, Delaware, into the new visitors center (below right) was designed to match existing features of the Park’s historic 19th-century Mansion Museum. Follansbee’s TCS II roof was specified to match the original terne roof that was installed on the mansion in the late 1970s. The visitor’s center roof was completed with 11,000 square feet of Follansbee’s TCS II in 1'' double-lock, standing-seam profile. To maintain onsistency with the mansion’s color scheme, the roof was painted with Follansbee’s Rapidri paint in a customized yellowish gray color.
