Projection Mapping
Surfaces become canvases. Architecture becomes art.
Overview
We transform static architectural surfaces into dynamic visual experiences. From building façades to intimate interior walls, our projection mapping installations blur the line between physical space and digital art. Each installation is custom-designed, content-programmed, and precisely calibrated to turn architecture into a living, breathing canvas.
How We Do It
We begin by surveying and modelling the surface in 3D so every projector is mapped to the architecture with pixel accuracy. We specify and position high-brightness projectors for the ambient light and throw distances of the site, blend multiple units into one seamless image, and build or curate content designed specifically for that canvas. Media servers drive playback; show-control ties the visuals to sound, lighting, and triggers. We handle the full chain — survey, hardware, content, calibration, and the show itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Projection mapping is a technique that turns irregular surfaces — facades, ceilings, sculptures, interiors — into displays by precisely aligning projected imagery to their geometry. The result is architecture that appears to move, dissolve, or come alive in light. It's used for launches, events, landmarks, hospitality, and permanent installations.
Most surfaces can be mapped, but the result depends on surface colour and texture, ambient light, and projector positions. We carry out a site survey and feasibility study first, then specify projector brightness and placement accordingly. Light-coloured, matte surfaces and controlled ambient light give the most dramatic results.
Both. We deliver one-off spectacle for launches and events, and permanent installations for lobbies, attractions, retail, and cultural spaces — engineered for reliability and easy content updates over time.
We do, or we collaborate with the client's creative team. Content can be designed in-house, commissioned, or supplied — and we calibrate and programme it to the mapped surface either way. We can also build content that responds to live input, sound, or interaction.
A mixed-media installation combines several technologies — projection, lighting, audio, interactivity and sometimes water or generative content — into a single coordinated experience for a space. MCBEE designs these experiential installations for residential, commercial and cultural environments, integrating the disciplines it already engineers in-house so the elements behave as one composition rather than separate systems.
Yes — MCBEE produces custom, content-programmed and generative visual work for projection mapping and mixed-media installations, not just the hardware that displays it. Each installation is designed as a complete experience, with content authored and programmed to the specific surface, architecture and brief, so the visuals and the engineering are delivered by one team.
