sensate: bodies and design

Entry signage for the SFMoMA exhibition Sensate: Bodies and Design, the installation operates between tactility and legibility — a relief wall that reads through movement and light.

collaboration: continuing the dialogue

We collaborate with architects, landscape designers, developers, private clients, and product teams to extend their capacity—from fabrication support to full design-build execution. Our role adapts to each project, embedding within existing workflows to maintain design fidelity, technical precision, and clear coordination from concept through construction

rapid-type

The service economy needed architecture that could move fast. Prefabrication promised that future but never arrived. Instead, the food truck did. Rapid Type merges those trajectories—industrial precision re-cast as a mobile café, where fabrication meets immediacy and architecture learns to serve.

flow-zone

A 1,700-foot field of light beneath a bridge, Flow-Zone maps the invisible currents of the city. Two thousand green aluminum fins ripple across the underside of TriMet’s Orange Line overpass, turning traffic, wind, and light into a continuous motion field.

collaboration: extending the logic

Rather than inserting a new object, the work extended the building’s own logic—where light paths became structural paths and textile filtration became architectural pattern. The intervention operated through continuity, not contrast: a method that joined languages rather than replacing them.

civic art extension

A continuation of our El Cerrito del Norte commission, folded aluminum panels extend the building’s design language without imitation. Using the same fabrication logic, they provide durability and visual depth while preserving the singular impact of the main artwork.

offshore to onshore

A civic artwork built inside the very vessel meant to contain it. Covid closures forced a pivot offshore, where the rainscreen panels were flat-packed for shipping. Yet the design called for dimensionality — a bottle assembled inside a ship. Reflective Fresnel-like pieces were hand-folded in Grass Valley, while offshore crates delivered the flat system. In the building’s own basement, the work was staged, sequenced, and finally lifted into place.
