Clay maquette design process at Boulder Legacies
How We Build

From Vision to
Sculpted Reality

Three stages separate a conversation from a finished environment that exists nowhere else on earth.

Discovery

Every commission begins with a Discovery Form and a Design Engagement that secures your place on our build calendar. From there, we study your property, build a physical clay maquette at 1 inch to 1 foot scale, and refine it in real time until the model matches your vision exactly.

The Maquette

The maquette is the single most important step in the process. It is a physical clay sculpture of your project — not a rendering, not a sketch, not a promise. You study it from every angle, revise it in real time, and keep it long after the environment is built.

Construction

EPS foam cores are sculpted to establish artistic form, then encased in a Structure Coat shell rated at 12,000 psi. Basalt reinforcement replaces steel, sculpting mortar builds the geological texture, and every water-contact surface is waterproofed, densified, and sealed.
