For the new 22,000-seat Compass Stadium in Houston, Texas, the architectural firm Populus designed an exterior surface composed of geometrically expanded metal mesh and orange polycarbonate sheet cladding.

The state-of-the-art, open-air arena and new home of the Houston Dynamo sports a brilliant display of the Major League Soccer team's distinctive orange brand featured on enclosed entrance façades with a vibrant shade of LEXAN Thermoclick sheet.
