Our Process

Every project is a journey and each journey has a story. Our process is highly collaborative and begins early, with owners and architects. We start by looking at color and context, precedent images, and inspiration. From there the collaboration continues as we push the boundaries of what can be achieved in terracotta rainscreen. Unique glazes and custom panel designs begin to take shape. At this early stage, systems design and engineering is taken into consideration. This is where the joining of art and technology to create beautiful architectural terracotta facades begins.
