— Institutional Commissions

Stone that holds its meaning when the institution changes around it.

Campus gateways, memorial courts, building-integrated stonework — each commission is designed to carry its programme across decades of new staff, donors, and visitors, not just the year it was installed.

/ Research Before Material

The site determines the stone, not the other way around.

Before any material is selected, the studio works through the institution's site history, programme, and foot-traffic patterns. The work earns its placement through that research — patina and weathering are anticipated from the first drawing.

Installation documentation is archived and returned to the institution — a record of the work's condition at placement and a baseline for any future maintenance decisions.

Begin the Conversation

Every institutional commission starts with the site, not the brief.

Bring us the site — its history, its programme, what it needs to say in thirty years. We'll tell you whether the work we make is the right fit.
