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
manufacturing: adaptive choreography
When funding dipped, we built; when visibility surged, we learned. A process tuned to its own rhythm—turning pauses into propulsion and exposure into design.

civic art: reframing presence
Dazzlement at the interface between transportation, large scale construction and a small neighborhood vibe.
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.
manufacturing: designed to go offshore
Each project begins onshore—where the act of making clarifies the language that will later travel.
