Process

Integrating translucent surfaces, structure, lighting, and controls. We are one diverse team, with targeted knowledge to provide you with comprehensive solutions through every step of the design-build process.

Step 1 of 5

Clarify Your Aesthetic Expectations

Together, we’ll define your design intent, its purpose, and any unique project challenges. From early renderings to light-performance studies and maintenance considerations, this phase ensures we fully understand the look, feel, and function you’re aiming for before moving into engineering.

Step 2 of 5

Engineer the Structural Details

We build the structural and lighting framework that sets your feature up for success. This phase includes developing means and methods, conducting on-site 3D scans, and testing the structural approach—all while aligning performance, feasibility, and warranty expectations.

Lighting Strategy & Mock-up

Illumination brings your vision to life, but simply placing lights behind a surface isn’t enough. We fine-tune and tailor the entire lighting environment based on insights from our mock-ups and testing.

With our mock-ups, it allows us to see the feature at full scale—testing material combinations, studying installation methods, and running performance checks to ensure flawless illumination. By shuffling and refining customized lighting options, we dial in the exact look and behavior your design demands.

Step 4 of 5

Apply the Surface

The surface (“the lens”) serves as the face of your feature, defining and enhancing your design with a distinct personality of its own. Achieving a harmonious surface requires expert coordination and customization at all phases of production.

Finishing Touches

Creating art requires meticulous detail and skilled execution. In this final stage, we unify every element of your backlit feature so it reflects the original design vision. We refine decorative details, minimize joint visibility, blend and balance the lighting, and polish the surface—bringing the entire installation together with a clean, seamless finish.

The word “integration” encapsulates everything for which we stand. We handle everything in the creation of your backlit feature – material supply, engineering, fabrication, and installation.

What does integration mean in practice? We ensure that the initial rendering of the project is as beautiful as the final installation without a series of compromises along the way.
