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.

gardens in Gulval, Penzance. The design is based on
the segmented structure of one of the temperate plants
growing in the gardens. The finial is over one metre
tall.
