Method

Understand how we bring your vision to life.

Four phases, one crew. Each phase ends with something you can look at and approve — a survey plan, a full-scale sample, a carved elevation, a finished patina.

Principle

Every decision is proven at full scale before it is repeated a hundred times.

Renders flatter rock. A one-square-metre sample under real daylight tells the truth about grain, joint and colour, so that is what we ask you to sign off on.

Four phases

Never subcontracted

  1. I

    Survey & brief

    We read the site, the story and the constraints before anything moves. Geology, access, drainage and crowd flow are settled on paper.

  2. II

    Model & mock-up

    Maquettes at 1:50 and full-scale samples prove silhouette, texture and colour at arm's length before production starts.

  3. III

    Build on site

    Steel armature, mesh, shotcrete and hand carving by our own crews. The wet window is short, so the sculptors follow the nozzle.

  4. IV

    Patina & handover

    Mineral washes, lichen and dry-brush detail, then documentation and a maintenance plan that outlives the opening season.

On site

Cut by hand, then aged on purpose.

Shotcrete gives us a few hours of workable surface. In that window the sculptors set strata, fracture lines and erosion — the geology a guest reads without ever naming it.
