Innovation and experience

Precision, planning and practical solutions

Incorporating a series of raked elements, this project’s design required careful planning, accurate set-out, and high-level coordination between trades. CMG Frames was brought in to provide precise framing solutions that aligned with the project’s architectural intent while meeting the structural demands of angled geometries.

Drawing on our background in Tier 1 façade systems and modular framing, we implemented efficient fabrication and installation methods to ensure consistency across all complex raked façade and roof components.

Close attention to detail

Working closely with builder Hacer and architects Cera Stribley, we maintained tight program timelines while delivering a high standard of workmanship. We achieved this with the attention to detail — from shop drawings to final installation — required by the complexity of the raked structure.

The result is a striking architectural outcome supported by robust, well-executed framing, demonstrating CMG Frames’ capability in delivering technically challenging façade and structural framing solutions.
