Patina Construction Gears Up for a Transformative Project in Shadyside in 2024

Patina Construction is thrilled to announce our selection as the builder for an innovative home design by Fisher Architecture, located in the heart of Shadyside. This stunning project, depicted in the attached renderings, represents a harmonious blend of modern design and sustainable innovation, all while embracing the charm and history of this iconic neighborhood.

Set within Shadyside, this home will stand as a remarkable addition to the area’s eclectic architectural landscape. The property is being built on the footprint of a house that was tragically damaged by a fallen tree. Instead of erasing the past, Fisher Architecture has brilliantly chosen to incorporate the original stone foundation into the new courtyard design, preserving a piece of the old Shadyside charm while setting the stage for a strikingly modern home.

Key Features That Excite Us

Corten Steel Siding:

A standout feature of this project is the corten steel siding, which will develop a beautiful rusted patina over time. This material not only enhances the home’s aesthetics but also offers durability and minimal maintenance—perfect for blending modern design into Shadyside’s dynamic neighborhood character.

Green Roof Technology:

Sustainability takes center stage with a planned green roof. This innovative feature will provide insulation, reduce stormwater runoff, and enhance biodiversity—an ideal solution for an environmentally conscious build in Shadyside. The green roof also reflects the forward-thinking design ethos that makes this project such a unique fit for the neighborhood.

A Dynamic Collaboration:

Our partnership with Fisher Architecture is a cornerstone of this project. Together, we’re finalizing design details and material selections, ensuring that every aspect of the home embodies elegance, sustainability, and functionality—all while honoring the aesthetic diversity of Shadyside’s architectural landscape.

The Revived Stone Courtyard:

The existing stone foundation is not only a tribute to the previous structure but also an anchor for the new design. The courtyard will serve as a warm, inviting space that connects the home to its past while embracing modern living—perfect for the outdoor lifestyle many Shadyside residents enjoy.

A Vision for Shadyside

Patina Construction views this Shadyside project as an opportunity to showcase our craftsmanship and our ability to take bold, creative designs and turn them into reality. Every detail, from the corten steel accents to the green roof, will reflect our dedication to quality and innovation, while staying true to the spirit of this vibrant neighborhood.

With construction set to begin in early 2024, we’re excited to contribute to Shadyside’s unique architectural fabric. This home will be a standout addition, representing the best of modern design, sustainable practices, and the rich history that Shadyside embodies.

Stay tuned for updates as we embark on this exciting journey to bring Fisher Architecture’s extraordinary vision to life in the heart of Shadyside!
