Metal that joins the drawing.
Balustrades, screens, gates, structural details – fabricated from the first conversation, not the last.
Working with architects means entering the project at the drawing stage, not at the punch list. The aim is a metalwork that reads as part of the building, not bolted to it.
Custom welded, forged or perforated assemblies – finished in oxide, brass, copper or steel patinas – delivered with the documentation and tolerances a job needs.
Drawing dialogue
Shop drawings adjusted against your set. Site visits when geometry needs it.
Finish control
Patinas, oxide, brushed brass, hand-darkened steel – sampled and signed off before fabrication.
Site work
Anchors, sleeves and welds done on site when the install calls for it. Insured workshop.
One contact
Solo practice. The person quoting is the person welding.
Examples from the workshop
Frequently asked
Do you accept architects' shop drawings directly?
Yes. The workshop reads CAD sets, sections and details, and produces its own shop drawings on top – adjusted against site survey when geometry needs it. Working from your set keeps tolerances coherent across trades.
What metals and finishes do you work with?
Forged and welded mild steel, brass, copper, and bronze. Finishes include hand-darkened oxide patinas, brushed and lacquered brass, hot-blackened steel, and protected raw mill scale. Samples are signed off before fabrication.
Can you deliver the documentation needed for sign-off?
Yes – shop drawings, anchor and bracket schedules, fixings spec, and load notes when relevant. For structural details we coordinate with the engineer of record on calculations and end conditions.
How does on-site work happen?
For balustrades, gates and large screens, we plan a site week for anchors, welding and final adjustment. The workshop is fully insured for on-site activity across Germany and France.
What scale of project is the workshop suited to?
From a single staircase detail in a private renovation to a 25-metre fence for a cultural venue. As a solo studio we keep the number of concurrent projects small – three to four open at a time – to protect quality and timeline.
Carry an idea. Bring it to steel.
If you carry a project – a piece, a building, a setting – I would like to hear about it. Most commissions begin with a short exchange about the place, the use, the rough budget and timeline.
