Built for a place.
Proven in the space.

Storefronts, gathering places and architectural installations. A clear scope, developed around the setting.

The printed surface, its seams and connections were developed together.

From architectural
intent to installation.

For the Prudential Center storefront, Decibel developed lululemon’s architectural concept into a printed mesh system spanning three bays while preserving views through the windows.

Scope
Computational design, engineering and rigging details, fabrication, finishing, delivery and installation.
Material
Recycled fiber-reinforced PETG, with the printed texture expressed in the finished surface.
Components
Nearly 1,200 square feet of mesh, resolved into panels with coordinated seams and connections.
Installation
Unistrut, aircraft cable and adjustable grippers supported alignment across corners and bays, coordinated with the general contractor and adjacent trades.

03 / Working togetherDecisions before production

A clear path
from brief to build.

The scope follows the project. We agree the design, samples, fabrication and site responsibilities before the work moves forward.

  1. 01

    Define the brief.

    Share the design intent, site, scale, budget and timing. Together we establish the scope, constraints and next steps.

  2. 02

    Resolve the design.

    Review geometry, materials, samples and connections. Agree the details and finish before committing to production.

  3. 03

    Make the work.

    Print, finish and assemble the components, with checks against the approved design and samples.

  4. 04

    Plan the arrival.

    Coordinate packing, delivery, site access and installation responsibilities around the agreed scope.

Why large-format 3D printing

Complex geometry, visible texture and project-specific components can be developed as one system. Material and finish choices are reviewed through samples.

Illustrative site study01 / 03
01 / The design

Develop the design.

Shape the geometry and surface around your concept and how the space is used.

02 / The components

Plan the build.

Resolve printable components, seams, connections, finishing and transport before production.

03 / The setting

Fit the space.

Coordinate dimensions, site access and assembly with the installation plan.
