Interior work is not exposed. For exterior decorative rails on a damp, shaded Redmond lot we either use ornamental aluminum, which cannot rust, or finish steel through a multi-step process over a primer, so the detail stays crisp through years of wet canopy conditions.

Yes, and it is a common starting point. A reference photo, a sketch, a rendering from your designer, or even a description of the feeling you want are all workable beginnings. We develop the design from there and produce shop drawings for your approval before anything is built.

Simple ornamental keeps a clean structure and introduces character through selected forged details such as collars, a scrolled panel, or shaped balusters. Luxury ornamental is drawn from scratch for your staircase, with sculpted forged work and hand painted or gilded finishing. Both are custom fabricated, but the luxury tier involves considerably more design and hand work.

They can be one of the most effective things in a contemporary interior. Surrounded by clean lines, a single sculptural railing becomes the focal point because it is the one handmade element in the room. We usually simplify the design for a modern setting, using fewer elements and more open space rather than a dense traditional pattern.
