The Oxbow Public Market is a locally-owned specialty food and wine store in
Napa, Calif. The 19,815-square-foot pre-engineered metal building system from Houston-based Metallic Building Co., utilized IPS RWP 250 roof panels from Houston-based IPS.
Located in the heart of downtown, Oxbow offers food choices and an extensive wine selection, along with hosting events, and featuring music and dancing. The building boasts a vented system with air movement for wine tempering. Additionally, the project architect utilized exposed wide flange beams around the perimeter for a structurally pleasing effect. Fourteen-foot roof overhang extensions and roof panels were used for greater R-values, as well as giving the building an industrial look. The exposed beams on the interior create an industrial look.
BCV Architects, San Francisco, was the architect; Terra Nova Industries, Walnut Creek, Calif., was the general contractor; and Striplin Walker Construction Inc., El Dorado Hills, Calif., was the builder. Stafford, Texas-based IPS and Striplin Walker Construction were the erector/roofing contractors.
