The molds for the Skyspace were designed and fabricated in Kinetica’s workshops. Using digital fabrication techniques, our team crafted 21 individual mold pieces to create a concave GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) surface. These molds were then transported from Monterrey to the project site in Culiacán. At the Botanical Garden, they were meticulously assembled on-site to form a continuous surface for the final FRP screen.

The structure consists of hollow steel columns supporting a metallic frame enclosed within a double-curvature FRP shell. The monolithic screen is designed to enhance the immersive experience of light projection conceived by James Turrell.

Our team was tasked with fabricating and installing the core metallic elements of a glass lobby for Saqqara residential tower by Foster and Partners Architects ( ).The lobby combines transparency with structural resilience, featuring intricate steel profiles encased within an elegant, oval glass enclosure.

The lobby’s primary framework consists of precision-engineered metallic columns and beams. These composite structures not only support the architectural form but also ingeniously house essential MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) fittings, including concealed water drainage. Working within tight height constraints, our approach required assembling the rooftop off-site. Complete with integrated lighting, HVAC, and electrical components, the rooftop structure was suspended by scaffolds until the lobby’s columns could be positioned below.

We were commissioned to fabricate and install an auditorium for Ternium’s headquarters, designed by Caruso e Torricella Architetti. The architects were captivated by the raw, industrial look of the metallic surfaces and chose to retain this aesthetic, perfectly mirroring Ternium’s industrial identity throughout the office space.

To achieve this, we employed parametric analysis to redesign the geometry, ensuring the structure fit together seamlessly like a 3D puzzle. The auditorium’s shell was constructed from 3/8” thick steel plates, folded rather than welded, giving the impression of a large origami sculpture. With a height of 4 meters and a diameter of 15 meters, the steel plates were fabricated at our headquarters and then disassembled for transportation to the site, where our installation team reassembled the structure with high precision.

Throwback to one of our old challenges that took us to Monterrey, Mexico, where we were tasked with creating a stunning set of stainless steel lamps for the museum’s plaza.

Each lamp was meticulously crafted from stainless steel tubes with three distinct heights—6m, 9m, and 12m, featuring a specially designed lighting mechanism. The cone-shaped top is polished to perfection, and reflects light downward, creating a beautiful ambiance. This unique design caught the eye not only during installation but also years later, leading to a request for more lamps to illuminate the plaza’s expansion.

At 520 West 28th Street in Chelsea, NYC, a luxury residential project by Zaha Hadid Architects ( ), we were entrusted with the fabrication of an iconic feature wall, that consisted of GFRC panels for the pool wall on the amenities floor. The design, inspired by the fluid ripples of water droplets, features panels measuring 4’ x 10’.

The real challenge came during installation due to the confined space and the precise positioning needed for the 700-pound panels. To overcome this, we designed a specialized trolley for the project. This trolley was engineered to move, rotate, and position each panel with precision, despite the narrow gap of just 1 inch above and below. Our trolley ensured the panels were installed smoothly and safely, demonstrating the importance of custom solutions in complex architectural projects.
