JAROFF DESIGN’S SERVICES
Original DesignJaroff Design offers the opportunity to commission original work by Joseph Jaroff, whether as lead designer for an entire project, for an aspect of an architectural project or for a site-specific sculpture. Joe personally works with each client to discover the aesthetics and goals for the commission. This ongoing creative exchange ensures a finished work that fulfills the desired aspirations of the client and represents a unique artistic vision for each project.
Design Consulting & DevelopmentJaroff Design serves as project designer and manager for metal and glass components within an overall project, taking designs from vague sketches to engineered solutions, detailed drawings, material selections, and custom metal and glass fabrication. Jaroff Design also coordinates the project’s realization, from production to installation, interfacing with all involved parties to ensure smooth and successful completion. In a problem-solving capacity, Jaroff Design steps in when unforeseen complications arise, specializing in complex issues relating to joining, finishing and fabrication. Finally, as experts in green building strategies, Jaroff Design evaluates all projects to identify potential energy-saving, energy-producing and environmentally-beneficial opportunities that could be accessed by the strategic use of architectural metal and glass.
While Jaroff Design generally advises and manages multiple aspects of a given project, we can also provide targeted consulting in the following areas:
  • •  Feasibility Studies
  • Our years of experience make us a natural choice for evaluating the technical or fiscal feasibility of complex ideas relying on custom metal or glass fabrication.
  • •  Green Design Consulting
  • Keeping our eyes on the future, Jaroff Design offers green design consulting, whether for projects at the earliest design phase or to guide upgrades for existing structures. New technologies and material options, particularly within the glass industry, can be used in a wide range of applications to make projects more energy efficient, even energy independent. As part of this service, Jaroff Design also identifies funding opportunities and tax incentives that can help make these sustainable design alternatives not just environmentally responsible, but fiscally beneficial as well.
  • •  Selection & Testing of Materials and Finishes
  • With our in-depth knowledge of materials and finishes, we are able to determine the best material choices for a project, including possibilities not known to those less familiar with the newest innovations in architectural metal and glass or options with untapped energy-saving benefits not previously considered. New material applications can be tested for wind, abrasion, load, seismic action, ultra violet light, delaminating, premature aging, salt and chemical reactions, and solar energy production to name a few.
  • •  Budgeting, Estimating & Value Engineering
  • Having an honest estimate and realistic budget goal is the best way to ensure a stress-free building venture. Jaroff Design’s expertise allows us to give you line by line costs, as well as built-in alternates that can be incorporated into the budgeting plan. Benefiting from years of experience with cutting-edge materials, Jaroff Design’s value-engineering services allow clients to realize their design criteria while remaining within budget, and our cost-benefit analyses for sustainable building options give clients the tools to evaluate the benefits of investing in energy-saving alternatives.
  • •  Shop Drawings & Detailing
  • By using material experts for drawings and detailing at the outset, many would-be problems associated with metal and glass fabrication can be avoided. Structural concerns, assembly and fabrication details, coordination and cost issues that might go unnoticed by those less familiar with these materials are resolved before they become problems, saving time and money. 3-D CAD modeling is also used as a tool for visualizing tricky details or entire projects.
  • •  Production of Samples and Models
  • When utilizing unusual techniques or materials, it can be hard to visualize the finished project from drawings alone. Jaroff Design can provide samples of materials and finishes or build scale mock-ups for discovery, testing, lighting design and final approval.

In glass, we offer custom cast glass to achieve sculptural forms as well as decorative, textured, tempered, insulated, fritted or frosted glass, with laminations and printed designs of all kinds. We also work with photovoltaic, LED and switchable glass, often in combination with custom-designed lighting systems, which can incorporate green design principles into all kinds of building projects.
InstallationWith complex materials, high-quality production is only half the battle. During on-site installation, our team of project managers, craftsman and crew ensure that everything comes together perfectly. Mison Concepts coordinates schedules and delivery, interfaces with other contractors and client reps, handles the juncture of metal and glass with other materials in the space and protects delicate finishes, materials and edges so the final product is flawless at delivery. While we are based in New York, installation crews can be coordinated for any location.
Materials and TestingMison Concepts works closely with designers to produce samples of new finishes, patinas or composites for metal or glass applications. We also provide material testing for performance criteria, environmental issues, green design efficiency, potential chemical reactions and safety concerns.
