Commonly used for greenhouses, Suntuf polycarbonate panels from Palram take on an architectural character in Gracia’s hands. “We used it as siding for a house in Tijuana, Mexico, because it’s translucent,” he says. The choice, he adds, “gave us an opportunity [to allow] light in between the corrugated shapes.” Stronger than fiberglass, Suntuf comes in a variety of colors and sizes the maker says are fade- and chip-resistant.
