About Philip Shikhess
Architectural Surface Designer | Digital Fabrication Specialist
Interior designer and computational design specialist with over 30 years of experience in architectural design, visualization, and digital fabrication.
Focused on transforming architectural surfaces into sculptural, buildable elements through advanced design and CNC fabrication.
What I Do
-
Interior design and spatial development
-
High-end 3D visualization and design communication
-
Custom Rilievo architectural surfaces
-
CNC fabrication and installation systems
Design + Fabrication Integration
My work connects design directly to fabrication.
Instead of treating surfaces as flat boundaries, I develop sculptural systems that integrate material, light, and depth.
Rilievo surfaces are designed, engineered, and fabricated to become part of the architecture—not just applied finishes.

From concept to fabrication, the goal is always the same:
to create architectural surfaces that are both visually powerful and physically precise.
