The developers of this loft project in Emeryville were the first to make loft-living commonplace in the Bay Area. As pioneers of the development concept, they wanted their new design to use a diversity of materials to challenge the cookie-cutter look of many other loft projects. Since this focus made the project unique, we recommended […]

Although technically a commissioned piece of Model Art™, this design was inspired by a fine art piece still in the works. Rather than the standard quick foam study that would be tossed away, we asked: why not build a beautifully machined layered plywood topo model that the property owners could use to study building design […]

This piece of Model Art™ was created for the Autodesk Design Museum in Boston. If you’ve never been to it or the one in San Francisco, schedule a Wednesday afternoon, when it’s open to the public, and prepare to be blown away. The museum exhibits the best of their CAD design production, the most cutting-edge […]
All models have a purpose and this one served to honor a son’s gratitude and love for his father. The source of inspiration was the actual building of their family business, established in 1955. To avoid having the appearance of a toy, the materials used on this piece of Model Art™ had to be true […]
Forrest came across our website and had a vision for the cover of his self-titled album. We welcome creative collaborations with all types of artists, so realizing this musician’s vision made the project and subsequent photo shoot fun, fast, and quite affordable. It helps that we save every sample and create pieces for rent, as […]
This piece of Model Art™ was presented as a gift to the owner of 55 Stockton from his employees. Our intention was produce a piece that was symbolic of his success and would be cherished and valued as fine art for generations. This building is located just outside of Union Square in San Francisco. Currently, […]

This was one of the first pieces created on our 5-axis CNC router. Both sides were machined from a solid block of wood. To most people who see it for the first time, however, it seems as though we softened and warped the wood somehow. The acrylic spheres represent the actual spherical structures in the […]
This was one of those technical challenges that seem impossible at first, but you just cannot stop thinking about it until it is solved. The challenge was not just to make a model, but to build it to “museum quality” standards for the Autodesk Design Museum with the added durability requirement to withstand travel to […]

The architects for the interior of the W Hotel San Francisco, STANLEY SAITOWITZ │ NATOMA ARCHITECTS INC, designed the modern lobby with a San Francisco theme. They used patterned perforated ceiling panels to represent the fog of The City, made the space dark as night and needed a sculptural piece to represent San Francisco at […]
As our world becomes more and more virtual, the demand to bring things back to physical form increases. This is an exciting revelation for professional model makers. Who doesn’t use Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop in the design world? Yet, how often do we stop and appreciate the work as works of art? The Adobe Museum […]
