The Brief
A first-of-its-kind race, and no room to miss.
The inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix was one of the most anticipated events on the global sporting calendar: a brand-new race, on a brand-new circuit, under the brightest lights in the world. Formula 1 needed all 14 entry towers designed, engineered and built to a standard that matched the moment, on a timeline that left zero room for error.
These weren't signage props. Entry towers are large, structural, permit-sensitive builds that thousands of guests pass through. They have to be striking, safe and flawless the first time.

That's the whole promise in one project: the ability to take a high-stakes, first-of-its-kind brief and deliver it complete, on time, at a scale and standard that earns the repeat call.
