Stones among wildflowers

Driving down the cost to ornament buildings.

Ornament as an industrial product.

Keramos takes 3D models and turns them into physical terracotta façade elements at competitive prices and lead times.

In terracotta, at full scale

Façade element

Delivered to site

Profiles that would otherwise require a shop full of artisans are instead formed, fired, and shipped at per-square-meter prices comparable to conventional cladding. What arrives on site matches what was drawn, rather than being rationalized down to what a manufacturer finds easy to make.

What this changes.

Your geometry.

We manufacture to the 3D models you design: complex profiles, non-repeating patterns, overhangs.

Consistency at architectural scales.

Details repeat reliably across thousands of units, with the tolerances expected of modern cladding. Integration with various mounting systems is flexible, accommodating historical façade systems as well as rainscreen and ventilated assemblies.

A material that outlasts the building.

Terracotta holds its color, resists fire, and weathers over centuries. When a building eventually comes down, it returns to the earth as inert material.

Brutalist concrete facade

The built environment deserves better.

For architects & developers

Help us understand what you need.

We’re in early development and want to talk to architects and developers who’ve had to compromise on ornament, a highly articulated façade, or your complete architectural vision. Where do current options fall short? What would need to change? Talk to Isaac; he’ll reply personally.
