Residential lobby art that gives an address identity
In a crowded market, a building needs something people remember from the listing photos and the first tour. A signature sculpture in the lobby or courtyard does that, and gives residents something to feel proud of. Everyday things blown up to the size of a room are memorable without being fussy.
We can work from the architect's or designer's concept, or develop ideas tied to the building's name, neighborhood or history.
What we make for residential buildings
Every piece is a large-format 3D print, built in sections, then joined, sanded, primed and painted in our NYC studio. See each step on our process page.
- A lobby sculpture that becomes the building's calling card
- Sculptural seating for lobbies and amenity lounges
- Courtyard and roof deck pieces with UV-resistant coatings
- Feature reliefs for mailrooms, corridors or elevator lobbies
- Pieces for a sales gallery that later move into the building
For launch day and every day after
Developers need something that photographs well for leasing or sales, then lives with residents, kids, dogs and building staff for years. We plan touch zones, routine cleaning by staff, rounded edges and secure bases. For outdoor amenity spaces we add UV-resistant coatings and plan anchoring with your team.
Custom lobby sculpture, painted to the palette
We print in white or clear PETG only. All colour is paint, so pieces follow the interior designer's palette and finish schedule, or use ours, such as 02 Cobalt or 01 Ivory. Only clear PETG can glow, which suits a lit piece in an entry or courtyard.
Planning with the construction schedule matters. The best install window is often after finishes are in and before residents move in. Share the schedule early and we will plan so the piece is finished and waiting when the space is ready.
Large-format 3D printing, finished seamlessly
Large pieces are hollow shells printed in sections, so they fit a service elevator or a lobby door and join on site. Seams are filled, sanded and painted until the sculpture reads as one solid object, not a print. That also means a piece can be lifted out, repainted for a refresh or moved from a sales gallery into the finished lobby. We leave building staff with care notes and touch-up paint, so the sculpture still looks new long after the last unit is sold or leased.
How it works
- Share the building, the design intent and marketing dates.
- We develop forms with your designer, then quote.
- You approve a finish sample in your palette.
- We print and finish in the studio.
- We coordinate install with the GC or building management.
What to send us
Developers and designers usually send:
- Architectural plans or renders of the space
- The interior palette and finish schedule
- Indoor or outdoor, and how residents will use it
- Construction milestones and marketing dates
- Contacts for the GC or building management

Questions
Can you work with our interior designer?
Yes. We develop form, colour and finish with your designer and match their palette and samples, so the piece belongs to the space.
Can a piece move from the sales gallery to the building?
Yes, if it is planned that way. We design sections and fixings so it can be removed, stored and reinstalled in its permanent location.
Can a courtyard or roof deck sculpture stay outside year round?
Seasonally, yes: PETG with an exterior UV coating and proper anchoring. Year-round pieces need regular inspection and recoating, and we are straight about lifespan.
Is a lobby sculpture safe around kids and dogs?
We design for it: rounded edges in touch zones, secure or weighted bases and durable paint that staff can wipe clean.
