Case Studies

A closer look

Interior wood staircase with a black steel railing and wall sconce

A staircase railing that keeps the light

Scope: A slim steel railing for an interior wood staircase. Approach: A clean, minimal profile so the stair stays open and bright. Result: A finished rail built to fit the home and the way the space is used.

Custom wood gate in a black steel frame, built in the shop

A gate built like furniture

Scope: A custom pedestrian gate pairing wood panels with a welded steel frame. Approach: Metal and woodwork built together under one roof so the frame and the panel line up. Result: A one-off gate made to fit its opening.
