We were honored to partner with Satterfield & Pontikes and Kirksey Architecture on the new ExxonMobil Campus for Kids’ Meals. This project combined complex fabrication with a powerful mission: supporting an organization doing incredible work to end childhood hunger in Houston.
The vision for the project was to create a “lunch bag” structure to serve as the main entrance to the campus. This project came to us as a typical bid, but we knew right away it was our type of project.
While the initial concept was strong, the engineering details had not been created yet. This is where our team stepped in. We took the “lunch bag” concept and engineered all the details from the ground up.
We sourced large aluminum cladding and created a custom-engineered aluminum structure that functions as a stunning digital facade. Our team translated the project’s concept into an algorithmically generated perforated pattern. This project is a perfect example of how we love collaborating on design and fabrication. The coolest part? If you look closely, you can see fruits and veggies hidden in the perforation design. Lastly, the structure was given a custom powder-coated finish to create the metallic lunch bag look. We were more than happy to utilize our skills in digital cladding to create exactly what our clients were envisioning.
We are honored to collaborate on turning this creative lunch bag concept into a physical reality. It’s a testament to what’s possible when creative design meets detailed engineering and fabrication. More importantly, it stands as a welcome sign for every volunteer, supporting the vital work Kids’ Meals does for the children of Houston every single day.
