The Monolith Wall at Neko Health
An illuminated architectural centrepiece for Neko Health’s largest health centre to date in Spitalfields, London.
Large-Scale 3D-Printed Installation by Fab.Pub
Can a wall be both a sculpture of light and a statement of sustainable innovation?
Welcome to The Monolith Wall, Fab.Pub’s largest 3D printing project to date. Designed by Acrylicize, a brilliant creative studio based locally to us, and created for Neko Health, a health-tech company with a vision to create a healthcare system that helps people stay healthy through preventive measures and early detection
Installed at Neko Health’s largest health centre to date in Spitalfields, London, this installation spans 12 metres wide and 7.5 metres tall, composed of 260 3D-printed translucent diamond panels in recycled PETG. It invites visitors to pause, reflect, and engage, setting the tone for a space where innovation, health, and calm coexist.
THE CHALLENGE: BLENDING GEOMETRY, LIGHT, AND SUSTAINABILITY ON A GRAND SCALE
Neko Health wanted a feature that did more than fill a space; they wanted a visually captivating installation that expressed their identity through form and material. The brief was technically demanding: fabricate hundreds of interlocking panels that are sharp-edged, translucent, and seamlessly fixed, all under tight time constraints.
The scale of the 3D prints posed additional challenges. Sharp geometric edges required precise printing orientation, and the use of recycled transparent PETG with a large extruder introduced material control complexities. The wall also had to integrate 78 LED strips, embedded invisibly within a structure that would glow, not glare.
SEAMLESS GEOMETRY, SMARTER FABRICATION: 3D PRINTING MEETS WELLNESS ARCHITECTURE
We approached this as pure digital craft. Through prototyping and testing, we refined print orientation and panel inclination to achieve the desired sharpness and clarity. Over 800 hours of robotic 3D printing were dedicated to producing the 260 unique panels, each around 60×70 cm.
A custom bracket system enabled invisible fixing, while layered geometry enhanced light diffusion. The 78 LED strips, calibrated to interact with the panel geometry, deliver soft, dynamic lighting that enhances the depth and atmosphere of the space. Every element was fabricated and installed within a three-month window.
LIGHT, FORM, AND PURPOSE: ILLUMINATING THE FUTURE OF PREVENTIVE HEALTH SPACES
The wall was designed to move with you. As visitors enter, the structure shifts subtly under changing light and perspective, creating a layered visual that feels alive. It evokes a sense of invitation and discovery, drawing people deeper into the wellness journey Neko Health represents.
This is not just fabrication, it’s fabrication with intention. Every decision, from material to lighting angle, was shaped to serve Neko’s goal: creating a space that feels intelligent, peaceful, and human-centred.
DESIGNING CALM THROUGH CIRCULARITY: RECYCLED MATERIALS, HIDDEN FIXINGS, VISIBLE IMPACT
Beyond aesthetics, the Monolith Wall is a practical demonstration of circular design. Built from recycled PETG, the structure balances innovation and responsibility. Its modularity allows for efficient assembly, future adaptability, and reduced material waste.
Seamless detailing was a core principle ensuring that fixtures, frames, and fastenings remain invisible so the experience stays uninterrupted and immersive. The result is a calming, forward-thinking environment that expresses what’s possible when design, technology, and purpose align.
The Monolith Wall shows what’s possible when creativity meets digital fabrication.
