Visible from all sides, the suspended blackened steel fireplace surround is the focal point of this residential Great Room. Given the stone hearth was in place, the sequencing of different trades was extremely tricky. The HVAC
went in first, then the stone hearth, then the steel structure, the flue, fireplace glass and finally the cladding.

The curved feature stair is the centerpiece of a reimagined lobby space. The interior stringer of this curved stair has not one but five different radii.

The client's instructions were to have the stairs as FLOATING AS POSSIBLE. The first flight of stairs was cathedral style. The 2nd, cantilevered. And the 3rd flight… not attached to a wall but dreamily off vertical architectural
louvers; what a head scratcher! In the end, the client was thrilled as it really enhanced the architecture of his modern home.
Florida Fence Products
The Trellis project was designed, constructed, powder-coated, and installed by Florida Fence Products Inc. The Trellis serves as the centerpiece of the newly constructed Luminary Green Park within the New Creative Village Park
in downtown Orlando. We take immense pride in having created and fabricated this one-of-a-kind landmark.
Gallant Metalworks
This piece was created to become an iconic tourist destination, and interactive piece of public furniture and a popular selfie spot. The location which was chosen to have the Montreal skyline as a background was the roof of a large
covered wharf in the downtown port. There were many site conditions which had to be incorporated including a green roof and its accompanying membranes and irrigation, nothing could be bolted or anchored in place. The piece
is supported by a weighted steel structure which is hidden in the few inches of space under the walkway to give the impression of freestanding letters. Producing this job required a lot of close collaboration with the engineer
and designers to find functional solutions to issues like wind loading and durability without compromising the overall appearance and effect of the piece.
Steel Welding
The gates were originally the entrance to a cemetary. Renovation of this historical gate project was needed for many decades. Originally built at the turn of the 19th century and was repaired in the 40s or 50s. The gates were inoperable
and parts were missing. We took great care with refurbishing using wrought iron, mild steel and repairing hinges.
The Iron Hammer
Customer called and said he was sending me a box of bones and wanted me to make a sculpture so I came up with a triceratops dinosaur 5’ tall x6’ long-all hand forged from stainless, copper, steel with bobs added. Fun project!!
