Townhouse metalwork

Metalwork drawn as part of the rooms, not applied after them.

The commission

Metalwork drawn as part of the rooms, not applied after them.

The commission brings stairs, balustrades and handrails into one considered architectural language. Structure, stone, timber and finished sightlines are developed together so the metalwork feels inevitable within the house.

Project focus

Drawn, developed and made as one.

Balustrade rhythm

Our approach

Resolved before it reaches site.

01

Design intent

We read the drawing set as a whole, preserving proportion, rhythm and material character through technical development.

02

Domestic interfaces

Structure, joinery, stone, lighting, services and finished floor zones are resolved around buildable assemblies.

03

Close-view finish

Samples and prototypes establish colour, touch and junction quality before production information is released.
