01. Strategy & Conceptual Design

We translate discovery into strategic, high-level design concepts that explore layout, materials, scale, and overall direction. Through a collaborative review and revision process, we refine the concept based on your feedback until the design feels aligned, intentional, and clearly positioned for success. This phase ensures we’re solving the right problem before moving into detailed design.

02. Design Intent & Finalization

Once the conceptual design is approved, we move into detailed design finalization. Donor names are integrated into the layout, and materials, colors, dimensions, and technical details are finalized so the donor wall is fully resolved and ready for fabrication. Clear documentation and approvals ensure accuracy before production begins.

03. Fabrication

Design comes to life in our in-house, state-of-the-art fabrication shop, where cutting-edge technology is paired with Old World craftsmanship. Every element is carefully fabricated with precision and attention to detail to ensure quality, consistency, and durability. This hands-on approach allows us to maintain control and uphold the highest standards throughout production.
