All services

From the drawing to the mould.

Every bespoke piece starts as a 3D model the architect signs off. The mould, the quantities and the price come from that model, before the first cement is poured. Drag to compare the study and the result.

Light is a material.

On a perforated GRC façade, daylight becomes shadow and night light becomes the elevation itself. We design the pattern, its density and the lighting together, so the building reads correctly at both hours.
