This year wasn’t defined by one signature project. It was defined by range. Libraries, retail spaces, sculptural icons, traveling brand vehicles, pop-ups, characters, installations, prototypes, and environments that asked us to problem-solve in new ways. We collaborated, experimented, engineered, refined, and delivered, fast. And we had a lot of fun doing it.
Here’s a look back at some of the magic we created together on this year’s projects.
A year full of civic, cultural, and long-term architectural work. These builds ask for durability, approachability, and a sense of belonging.They highlight our team’s ability to create welcoming, long-lasting environments where people gather, learn, and connect.

Featuring signature orange niches, sculptural wall assemblies, and integrated artifact displays, the installation blends storytelling with architectural impact and delivers museum-quality precision at Nike’s pace.
Brands came to us with big visions for how people should feel when they walk into their space. We answered with design-forward details, refined materials, and thoughtful production that carries across an entire retail footprint. Retail in 2025 meant crafting spaces that feel intentional, functional, and always on brand.

This is where personality shows up in the shop. These builds ask us to be sculptors, engineers, and storytellers at the same time. This work reminds us that objects can be art, humor, nostalgia, and engineering all at once.

Designed for scenic placement, the dimensional “A” featured precision-fabricated panels and reflective finishes that responded to light and landscape. Engineered for efficient transport, installation, and strike, the piece balanced refined brand presence with durability and speed, delivering a bold visual moment within a tight production timeline.
In 2025 we built immersive moments that brought brands to life through play, movement, and multisensory interaction. When people can touch, explore, and immerse themselves in a space, the fabrication matters. These were some of our favorite moments to build.

Now that we've explored the projects that shaped our year, here’s a quick snapshot of the scale, craft, and creative momentum that moved through the shop in 2025. These numbers tell the story of a team that showed up, leaned in, and built work that traveled across the country and into the hands, paths, and experiences of thousands of people. A year of big ideas, tight timelines, problem solving, and the kind of behind-the-scenes magic that makes fabrication worth doing. Behind every number was a moment of creative problem-solving, learning something new, or strengthening a relationship with a partner.
These numbers are more than milestones — they’re signposts of where we want to go next: deeper creative expression, thoughtful experimentation, and collaborative work that supports both craft and community. This year reminded us why we love what we do. We get to build the things people remember. We get to turn sketches into spaces, invent tools for expression, and create objects that bring people together. And we get to do it with a team that cares deeply about the craft.
2026 is already underway in the shop, with new builds taking shape and new ideas rolling in. If you’re imagining something for your brand, your space, or your next big moment, we’d love to help you bring it to life.
Here’s to another year of making. Let’s build something unforgettable.
