Finish design ≠ finish selection.

At Artform, coil-applied product finishes aren’t something you pick from a chart—they’re something you design.

Our team works with architects early to shape finish intent, performance, and visual depth, blending the science and art of modern high-performance coatings. From color development and gloss control to durability, reflectivity, and long-term weathering, we understand how finishes behave—not just how they look on day one.

This approach is foundational to our Forma® and Reveal® panel systems, where coil-applied finishes are engineered to perform as an integral part of the architectural envelope—precise, durable, and expressive.

When your next cladding system demands more than an off-the-shelf color:
Design the finish. Don’t just select it.

We welcome architects to design with Artform—because the most compelling façades start with intent, not a swatch book. E-mail us today at [email protected] to request a copy of the Artform white paper: "Understanding PVDF Coil Coatings for Architectural Applications"

Most facade companies install systems.
We’ve been doing that for decades—
we also design, engineer, and fabricate from scratch when the project demands it.

Proud to see this Honda Blue Stage dealership come to life.

Artform recently completed the exterior aluminum composite cladding scope for this next-generation Honda facility, implementing our Forma™ premium dry-joint rainscreen system as part of Honda’s new Blue Stage design standard.

The Forma™ system was engineered for precision alignment, coordinating seamlessly with adjacent architectural systems including glazing and EIFS. That level of dimensional accuracy allowed the façade to read as a single, cohesive architectural composition—where every joint, reveal, and transition reinforces the clean, modern language of the Blue Stage program.

More than a skin, the panel system became an integrated sunshade, shaping the dealership’s face while delivering performance, depth, and visual rhythm. This approach reflects a key reality in automotive retail design: exterior cladding is inseparable from brand identity. The dealership façade is often the first and strongest expression of the vehicle brand itself.

Honda’s Blue Stage concept—defined by transparency, bold blue accents, open showrooms, and a seamless blend of digital and physical experiences—demands exterior systems that are as refined and forward-thinking as the vehicles inside. We’re proud that Artform’s Forma™ rainscreen supports that vision with a solution that balances design intent, constructability, and long-term performance.

Another example of how thoughtful façade engineering helps transform retail environments into brand experiences.

The exterior sunshade system at The Ion—the namesake centerpiece of Houston’s innovation corridor—continues the building’s remarkable story of transformation. Originally the 1939 Midtown Sears structure, The Ion has been reimagined into a light-filled hub of innovation for Rice University’s Ion District. Central to this evolution is a new façade featuring a sophisticated assembly of perforated and embossed aluminum fin panels integrated seamlessly into the curtain wall system.

Levels 1–3 incorporate individually formed fins mounted with custom-engineered brackets for precision alignment with the glazing system. Levels 4–5 transition to a unitized assembly, with aluminum fins spanning an impressive 30 feet across the upper levels.

Each fin is coated to match the curtain wall on its exterior surface, while the interior face carries a custom metallic blue—creating a unique visual experience from within the building.

Artform was selected by Gilbane Construction and Hines Development to collaborate on the design, engineering, fabrication, and installation of this signature architectural sunshade feature.
