Architecture

As with work carried out for interior designers, copper and bronze can be integral to the overall form and function of a room or building. An architect can engage with us at an early stage making the work we do for them fully integrated with their overall design concept. All aspects are discussed with the architect, durability of the materials, safety, structural strength, maintenance, etc. Copper and bronze have a long history in architectural application. Be it hand formed, machine worked or cast, the materials work well alongside timber, steel, concrete, stone etc.
