Discover the featured material01 / Material collections
Different materials.
Distinct expressions.
Architectural concrete, metal composite, decorative boards, facade smart glass and custom forms. Explore the surface, then the construction behind it.
Architectural UHPC
Concrete panels, aggregate surfaces and custom cast forms.
Metal composite (ACM / MCM)
Architectural, transit and healthcare panel families.
Exterior HPL
Decorative wood-fiber laminate for facade cladding.
Interior decorative boards
High-pressure-cured boards for interior surfaces.
Smart glass facades
Project-specific smart glazing for facade and curtain-wall review.
Custom GFRP
Molded glass-fiber reinforced polymer architectural elements.
Attachment components
Manufacturer-specific rails, clips, anchors and fasteners.
Manufacturer and supplier references introduce each family. Confirm finishes with physical samples; review attachment components with the selected panel system.

Start with
the architecture.
Texture, rhythm, warmth or form. Follow a design direction, discover candidate materials, then bring the details into focus.
How should texture read from the street, and at arm’s length?
The design direction / 01
Let the surface catch the light.
Explore architectural concrete through texture, aggregate and the relationship between a panel and its joints.
Candidate materials
Bring into the review
Compare physical samples in the intended light. Coordinate panel divisions, corner details and the attachment system.
Will the facade read as a continuous plane or a series of modules?
The design direction / 02
Find a rhythm in the facade.
Begin with metal-faced composite panels, then consider the scale of the module, the finish and the expression of each joint.
Candidate materials
Bring into the review
Confirm face metal, core and finish for the proposed panel. Review flatness, joint layout and evidence for the complete assembly.
How will tone, grain direction and joints relate to the space?
The design direction / 03
Give the surface a sense of warmth.
Explore decorative laminate and interior board families. Start by distinguishing the exterior exposure from the interior setting.
Candidate materials
Bring into the review
Request the actual finish range and physical samples. Exterior and interior products have different constructions and review requirements.
Where should the form divide into buildable, transportable pieces?
The design direction / 04
Start with the geometry.
Consider molded GFRP and custom UHPC as distinct material routes for architectural forms developed around the project.
Candidate materials
Bring into the review
Bring drawings or a 3D model. Review modules, tooling, finish, connections and prototypes with the project team.
Design directions help begin a conversation. Confirm finishes with physical samples and review each product and assembly against the project requirements.
03 / Architecture begins with a question
What will the
material do?
Frame a facade. Define an interior. Follow a curve. Start with the application and work toward the detail.
Explore architectural applicationsExterior facades
Panel geometry, weather exposure and complete wall assemblies.
Interior walls & ceilings
Finish, joints, cleaning and interior performance requirements.
Transit & tunnels
Authority-specific fire, durability and maintenance requirements.
Healthcare interiors
Cleaning protocols, finish evidence and service conditions.
Custom architectural forms
Project geometry, molds, mock-ups and connection coordination.
