This year’s North America Copper Architecture Awards shows off the most stylish new buildings.

From a skyscraper towering over Manhattan’s East River to a cathedral, the copper industry recently awarded the top 15 buildings from across the United States and Canada.

The winners include educational facilities, residential dwellings, government buildings and religious structures.

Several of the 2018 award-winners turned to copper for its sustainable properties including the LEED Gold targeted project, Shane Homes YMCA at Rocky Ridge.

The project utilized copper to provide a unique blend of natural materials and colors. The building’s brass shingles capture the rolling prairie landscape of the Alberta Foothills just west of Calgary before entering the Rocky Mountains.

Thousands of pounds of copper were used by the award-winning projects to clad and roof religious structures such as the Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral in Raleigh, North Carolina; government buildings such as West Block Rehabilitation Project Parliamentary Hill in Ottawa, Ontario; residential dwellings such as The American Copper Buildings in New York City; and education facilities such as the Local 130 Plumbers Training Facility in Chicago.
