Large-Scale Architectural Art for Public and Commercial Spaces
We transform blank landscapes and empty lobbies into landmarks with custom, life-size sculptures built to withstand the elements.
A full view of the Rohtak Zoo entrance gate we constructed. The design incorporates various animal sculptures, such as a crocodile and antelope, directly into the rock-like structure.

The completed Rohtak Zoo entrance, a large-scale architectural sculpture that welcomes visitors with a display of sculpted wildlife.
A close-up of the right pillar of the Rohtak Zoo gate, showing a dynamic scene with a leopard chasing antelope, all sculpted with realistic detail.
A different angle of the monumental baby sculpture at Fortis Hospital, Gurgaon. Its placement in the open, multi-story lobby makes it visible from various levels.
A frontal view of the giant baby sculpture, showing the detail in the hands and the stethoscope. This piece was crafted in sections and assembled on-site.
The giant Dalmatian sculpture seen from the side, giving a sense of its immense scale next to the human figure. This is a prime example of our custom outdoor art.
About this collection
Building a large-scale sculpture starts with a clay model, not just a digital blueprint. We sculpt every detail by hand in our studio, from animal textures to human facial features, before we move to mold-making and casting in Fiber Reinforced Plastic. This hands-on process allows for three rounds of corrections on the clay model, ensuring that what we approve together is exactly what gets installed at your site.
When you are planning a public installation or a centerpiece for a lobby, the most important factor is longevity. We use Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) because it is lightweight, durable, and weather-resistant, which is why it works for everything from zoo entrance gates to hospital atriums.
Our Process for Architectural Art
- Conceptualization: We start with your vision. Whether it is a thematic gate for a zoo or a 10-foot tall sculpture for a corporate plaza, we draft the concept and scale to fit the site dynamics.
- Structural Engineering: For outdoor monuments like our work at the Rohtak Zoo or various army memorials, we integrate internal Mild Steel (MS) armatures treated with anti-rust coatings. This provides the structural skeleton needed to stand for years.
- Fabrication & Finish: After casting, we apply automotive-grade polyurethane (PU) paints. This is not just for color. It provides a UV-resistant shield that prevents fading even under direct sun. We offer realistic skin tones for figurative pieces or metallic faux finishes for a classic, heavy-metal look.
Why Scale Matters
Scale changes the perspective of a space. A 2-foot bust on a desk is fine, but a 6-foot installation in a public area requires specific anchoring and weight distribution. We manage the civil requirements and provide technical drawings for plinth work so the installation is seamless, not a construction headache. We have managed projects for government institutions and private hospitals alike, handling transport and on-site assembly for pieces that simply cannot be moved as one unit.
ArtHerwa
We are a team of artists who chose the studio over the desk. We take the ideas you have been sketching on napkins and build them into massive, weather-proof realities that stand tall in parks, hospitals, and plazas.
