The third Flip Burger Boutique/Flip III used to be an Atlanta Blockbuster Video building. Completed in November 2010, this is the only Flip Burger Boutique to feature 4-mm-thick APOLIC aluminum composite material panels with a PE Core from Mitsubishi Plastics Composites America, Chesapeake, Va., says Brian Bollins from Atlanta-based Strutor Group, the general contractor. The building features 2,050 square feet in “TOB” Black; 1,688 square feet in “MZG” Mica Gray; and 420 square feet of Mica “OPT” Platinum.
According to Brian Burton, senior designer/webmaster at Atlantabased Graphics Central Inc., the Flip Burger exterior panels were produced using a direct-to-substrate printing process that creates a panel, which will withstand the harsh exterior environments and surpass the potential to crack, peel or curl over time. “Once each of the panels was printed with the unique design, they were delivered in a ready-to-install package,” Burton says.
“We brought the unconventional and edginess of the cuisine to the design using reflecting ceiling elements, bold colors and finishes, and playful graphics,” says Dave Heimbuch, Design Expert at AI3 Inc., Atlanta, the architect. “The result is a design that’s invigoratingly modern, yet like the menu, doesn’t take itself too seriously.”
Additional companies involved in the project include the owner, Flip III LLC; the fabricator, Altech Panel Systems, Cartersville, Ga.; and the installer, SECO Architectural Systems Inc., Snellville, Ga.
