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

Let’s work together to closely define your design intent and its challenges as we begin deriving a practical built solution.

Step 2 of 5

Engineer the Structural Details

Creating an effective structural system and lighting cavity is the foundation for success of your feature. These elements are the framework that will best showcase your translucent surface.

Step 3 of 5

Implement the Lighting Strategy

Illumination will bring your vision to life, but simply placing fixtures behind a translucent surface may not meet the aesthetic demands a backlit design requires. We strategically tailor the entire lighting environment based on the findings that our mock-ups and testing uncover.

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 attention to detail and skilled execution. These final elements unify your backlit feature as the unique statement envisioned from the concept stage.

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.
