Our services
Soup–to–nuts enclosure consulting services
Modern, high-performance enclosures are formidably complicated to design & construct.
Our role is to help guide our architect & owner clients through that complexity to achieve facades that are stunningly beautiful, cost-effective, and high performing. Our services span the gamut from scheme design to commissioning:
At each phase we deploy our collaborative, holistic methodology to create, analyze & help select facade options.
Being involved throughout the process (and being solely focused on facades), allows us to provide the continuity needed to ensure the architect’s vision & the owner’s performance requirements are fully reflected in the built facade.
