01 / Applications

Shape the surface.
Change the space.

Develop custom geometry and texture around the space, its use and construction.

01

Surfaces &
cladding

Textured and curved panels, developed with their joints and supports.

Prudential Center
02

Screens &
ceilings

Open patterns that filter views or connect windows and ceilings.

The detail
holds the idea
together.

At Prudential Center, nearly 1,200 square feet of custom mesh span three storefront bays. Geometry, panel joints and suspension were developed together.

03 / Planning & performance

Planning your
project.

Involve the project team early, before materials and connections are fixed.

Understand the LFAM process
What should the first brief include?

Share a drawing or reference, dimensions, use, site constraints, budget and installation date. Flag any fixed interfaces.

How are performance requirements addressed?

Identify applicable fire, loading, exposure, cleaning and documentation requirements before specification. Material suitability and any testing must be evaluated for the complete proposed application. A previous installation does not establish compliance for a new project.

What is coordinated with the site team?

Panelization, support and attachment strategy, tolerances, handling, packaging and installation sequence can be developed with the architect, contractor and relevant trades. The agreed proposal defines Decibel’s responsibilities and the interfaces with others.

Start with the space

Bring the drawing.
Or the question.

Share your concept, drawings or a question about what is possible.
