Celebrating the people and projects that shape communities

By Dani Sheehan. 

American Metalcraft proudly sponsored the AIA Georgia Design & Honor Awards, supporting an event that uplifts the design world and the communities they serve. 

Held at Atlanta, Georgia’s iconic Ponce City Market, the 2025 AIA Georgia Design and Honor Awards gathered architects, firms and supporters to recognize the projects and people shaping the state’s-built environment. Each year, AIA Georgia comes together to celebrate the accomplishments of its members and organizations doing work that elevates both the community and the profession. Known for its custom architectural metal products and high-performance rainscreen systems, American Metalcraft Inc. was the top sponsor of the evening, and had the privilege of presenting the Firm of the Year award. Congratulations to HOK Atlanta! 

President Holly Gotfredson brings a rare blend of creative and technical insight to her role leading American Metalcraft. She and her team work closely with architects and designers in the schematic phase of design – ensuring the right product solutions for the project. And if the project requires a unique solution, American Metalcraft is well versed in custom fabrication and finishing to meet the aesthetic and sustainability goals as part of project delivery. That drive for innovation and visionary expression are a few of the many characteristics that elevates American Metalcraft as a leader in the industry. 

“I entered the world of manufacturing, and I was amazed at the artistry and effort that goes into each piece, each project,” she shares in her bio. “I enjoy bringing the architect’s vision to life with our custom metal products – nurturing it from design into reality.”  

That creative-meets-practical ethos defines American Metalcraft’s approach to every project. Their rainscreen systems, sunshades, perforated panels and custom architectural metals have been part of hospitals, colleges, airports, corporate headquarters, theme parks, casinos, stadiums, k-12 schools, research and development centers and more. 

Contractors and project teams not only count on American Metalcraft for top quality materials, but also as a trusted resource for information on all things metal.  

American Metalcraft supports the design community through sponsorship and membership in several professional organizations including AIA Atlanta.  They are dedicated to being a trusted resource for the design and construction community, as well as to the collaborative spirit that drives great buildings forward. The American Metalcraft team understands both vision and execution when every detail matters- supporting project teams across the country from start to finish.
