Seattle Design Center — Mario Romano Wall
Seattle, WA
At the Seattle Design Center, Absolute GM installed a custom Mario Romano Wall system, transforming the interior into a visually striking architectural focal point with advanced digital fabrication and precision installation.
The transformation
Complex Dimensional Design
The installation at the Seattle Design Center posed unique challenges due to the three-dimensional nature of the Mario Romano Wall system. The design's complexity required precise alignment and seamless integration of panels to maintain the continuous flow of the intricate patterns. Additionally, the project was located in a busy commercial area, necessitating careful coordination to minimize disruption to ongoing activities within the center.
The dimensional surface design required advanced handling techniques to prevent damage during transportation and installation. Given the wall's high visibility, any misalignment or imperfection would be immediately noticeable, demanding exacting standards in every phase of the project.
Furthermore, the installation had to accommodate variable lighting conditions, both natural and artificial, to ensure the wall's dynamic qualities were consistently highlighted. This required strategic planning in terms of panel placement and seam management to optimize visual impact.
Precision and Expertise in Installation
To overcome the challenges posed by the Mario Romano Wall's design, Absolute GM utilized STONEEX digital templating to capture precise measurements of the installation area. This technology ensured each panel was fabricated to the exact specifications needed for a seamless fit. Our Kirkland facility's CNC fabrication capabilities allowed for precision cutting and handling of the panels, ensuring each piece was ready for flawless installation.
Throughout the process, our team maintained a keen focus on detail, especially in seam management. By carefully planning the location and execution of seams, we ensured the panels aligned perfectly, preserving the integrity of the design. This meticulous attention to detail was crucial in achieving the desired monolithic appearance.
Moreover, Absolute GM coordinated closely with the Seattle Design Center's management to schedule the installation at optimal times, minimizing disruption and ensuring a smooth workflow. Our experienced installers executed the project with precision, ensuring the wall's dynamic features were fully realized.
