What Trü Architectural does

Trü Architectural is a privately held facade systems company founded in 2009 by David Goldenberg in Los Angeles, California, and headquartered at a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Hawthorne, CA. The company designs, engineers, fabricates, and installs bespoke architectural glazing, curtain wall, window, and door systems for high-end residential and commercial construction projects, with engineered products sourced from German and Swiss profiles combined with American fabrication. Core product lines include the Facade Wall System (FWS) with Classic, Minimal, and Steel Look variants; the VS-1 point-supported curtain wall; Add on Construction structural glazing for timber and steel substructures; Minimal, Classic Line, and Fold Line sliding door systems; Pivot, Hinged, and Terrace doors; Millennium, Classic, and Terrace windows; Steel Systems; and Unitized curtain walls, plus Interior Glass demountable partitions. Technical differentiators include ultra-slim sightlines, thermal break technology, structural glazing, concealed hardware and automation, oversized panel support (panels up to 19'4" tall, 65' curtain wall spans), and certified performance against ASTM, AAMA, NFRC, and RC2/RC3 standards.

The company operates a fully vertical design-assist delivery model, engaging architects, contractors, developers, and owners from initial concept and preconstruction through engineering, manufacturing, in-house assembly and glazing, field installation with OSHA 30-certified superintendents, and aftermarket service. Go-to-market is sales-led and project-based with no channel partners; the Studio in Hawthorne serves as a central collaboration hub for full-scale product displays and preconstruction engagement. Revenue is generated through bespoke project contracts priced individually by scope, with free consultations supporting lead conversion. Customer segments span luxury residences (Trousdale, Beverly Hills, Aspen, Doheny, San Remo), marquee hospitality (Waldorf Astoria, Pendry Hotel), commercial real estate (AEO Tower, 8495 Sunset Blvd), cultural and educational institutions (Kirkland Museum, CMC Robert Day Science Center), and luxury automotive retail (Rolls Royce Beverly Hills). Strategic alliances with Schüco and VS1 extend technical breadth, and the company is featured in Architectural Record, Architectural Digest, Wallpaper*, ENR, Elle Decor, and other design publications.
