The landscape of a building's interior is defined by walls,

doors, thresholds, fenestration and ground planes,

and punctuated by architectural details and furnishings.​ 

Shoji screens of wood and rice paper, and sliding wall panels possess a unique ability to re-configure interior volumes as they morph into various positions of open, closed or partially open-

to frame a calculated aperture, divide or transect a space.

We fabricate translucent interior facades with PolyGal and

3FORM panels that diffuse light and soften boundaries while

delineating space.​​  These innovative, high tech materials are

comprised of natural fiber membranes or ribs laminated between

two layers of polycarbonate sheet. By selecting transparency

and patterns of varying density we can control and/or re-direct

light and sound, creating enhanced indoor environments.
