Sculpture developed at scale.

For projects spanning architecture, landscape, and public experience.

Concepts developed as complete proposals, integrating scale, structure, and fabrication.

Built for real-world execution.

Sculpture at this level is never just about the object. 

It’s about shaping how people arrive, gather, interact, and remember a place.

The studio develops site-specific sculptural concepts in response to your architecture, landscape, circulation, audience, and long-term vision.

This work is designed to strengthen identity, elevate perception, and deliver lasting value far beyond installation. 

Project

Barney Ellis Plaza

Barney Ellis Plaza Sculptural Concept 

A large-scale sculptural concept developed for civic integration and landmark presence.

This proposal was developed as a multi-component concept proposal, exploring how sculpture can operate across an entire site rather than as a single object.

The project includes five sculptures: a 120-foot monumental work, a civic music installation, an interactive “locks of love” piece, a sculptural playground environment, and integrated facade and wall elements for the parking structure—each designed to engage the public at different scales and points of interaction. 

Together, the concepts establish a cohesive sculptural identity across the site, shaping movement, gathering, and long-term engagement.

The proposal was developed as a complete conceptual project framework, including preliminary budgets, fabrication approaches, maintenance considerations, environmental context, and public-facing positioning—structured to move beyond concept into real-world execution.

The full proposal outlines concept development, structural considerations, and project integration at a detailed level.

The same level of development, coordination, and consideration is brought to each project—regardless of scale or setting.

The proposal is developed to a level where it could be carried forward as a complete, multi-sculpture installation—adapted to a new site with project-specific refinement.

Designed as a scalable project framework, the concepts can be adapted to new sites with project-specific refinement, with a preliminary budget in the $2.3M range.
