A look at all three scopes we delivered for this project, featured in Portrait Magazine!

We engineered a massive hot rolled steel range hood with zero visible fasteners, built a custom anodized aluminum light fixture enclosure, and finished the fireplace surround on site with our custom blackened patina while protecting the stone and concrete hearth.

Always a privilege collaborating with incredible teams:

Another scope we got to handle on this project, featured in Portrait Magazine!

While the structural fabricator built the fireplace surround, our team stepped in to clean, detail, and apply our custom blackened patina on-site. The real trick here was getting a rich, even finish without damaging or discoloring the surrounding concrete or solid surface hearth stone.

Another scope we got to tackle on this project—featured in Portrait Magazine!

For the light fixture, we built a custom anodized aluminum enclosure designed specifically to handle the installation attachment while keeping true to the designer’s original intent. Clean geometry, sharp lines, and seamless integration with the space.

Honored to see this project featured in Portrait Magazine!

We had the opportunity to fabricate this custom range hood, focusing on clean lines, tight tolerances, and getting the fitment spot-on. One of the biggest challenges on this build was sourcing a clean piece of Hot Rolled steel at that size, then engineering an attachment system that kept everything dead flat and rock solid with zero visible fasteners.

When you're making a centerpiece like this for a kitchen, every single detail counts.

Looking back at one of our favorite builds from a few years ago for the Taylor Residence.

The second slide shows our "door gizmo" in action. We designed and built this custom rig specifically to help us transport, tilt, and precisely set massive, heavy doors without blowing out our backs or scuffing up the finish.

Bringing history back to life with details that matter.

We had the privilege of jumping on-site at The Westman Hotel to design and fabricate a custom brass fireplace, along with repairing the damaged historical railings outside. Matching the patina to the existing antique fixtures took some real finesse, but getting those seamless transitions on historical pieces is where the fun is at.

Privileged to work alongside an incredible crew to pull this off:

Keeping things sharp, clean, and simple.

For the Fairway View entry, we built this custom pivot door with matching sidelights. Went with a solid black powder-coated frame and aluminum angle glass stops to secure double-insulated glass—over half an inch thick with black spacers to keep those lines looking razor-sharp.

On the functional side, we set it up with standard hardware, compression weather stripping on the sides, and mohair on the top and bottom to lock out the elements. The whole frame sits on a custom double-sloped hardwood threshold to tie it all together.

Nothing flashy—just solid engineering and clean ex*****on.

It’s looking really amazing seeing this one move from raw materials on the shop floor to where it is now. There’s still a bit of work left to do, but man, watching the vision come together like this makes all the extra shop hours worth it.

Genuinely excited to share the final look with you guys soon.
