01 Findings

What was wrong

A newly installed structural steel beam at the mall’s parking structure stood out starkly against the existing finished beams. It needed to disappear into the architecture.

02 Corrective Work

What we did

We built precise metal framing around the new beam to replicate the shape of the surrounding beams, then applied stucco matched to the existing finish.

03 Outcome

Where it stands

A cohesive, polished structure — the new beam blends flawlessly with its neighbors, and the addition is undetectable to anyone who didn’t watch it happen.

04 Photo Evidence

Documented on site.
