Shepherd Park Community Center – Washington, DC

The Shepherd Park Community Center in Washington, DC, designed by Bell Architects, showcases a bold façade using Swisspearl fiber cement panels. Strategically spaced to reveal the wall cavity, the panels create visual depth while highlighting the building’s layered structure. 

This rainscreen system not only adds striking aesthetics but also delivers enhanced durability, weather protection, and energy efficiency - demonstrating the blend of design innovation and high-performance materials in modern public architecture.
