Fabrication
9 services
Bespoke architectural components: drawn, engineered, made and installed. Joinery, worktops, doors, glazing, street furniture, lightweight roofing, play areas, sculpture and signage. Sizes come off the building as built and not off the drawing, and the studio answers for the piece once it is in place.
What this strand covers
- Joinery and woodworkDesign, fabrication and installation of joinery, architectural woodwork and timber structures
- Fitted furniture, linings and timber structures designed and made to order. Joins bench joinery to industrial processes, with the technical treatments that keep timber stable, sound and good-looking.
- Countertops and worktopsDesign, fabrication and installation of worktops and surfaces
- Kitchen, bathroom and commercial worktops in natural stone, engineered quartz, porcelain or solid surface. Sized off the building as built, material selected, samples managed, fabricated and installed.
- Doors and framesDesign, fabrication and installation of doors and frames
- Bespoke doors, frames and fitted wardrobes in timber, metal or both, with their ironmongery and their installation. Sized off the real opening and not off the drawing, which is the difference between a door that closes and a door that has to be made again.
- Glazing and light enclosuresDesign, fabrication and installation of glazing and light enclosures
- Windows, glass partitions, balustrades and light enclosures: glass and framing selected for the use and the exposure, fabricated and installed. It covers the safety and solar-control specification, which is what almost nobody specifies and everybody complains about later.
- Bespoke street furnitureDesign, fabrication and installation of bespoke architectural and street furniture
- Furniture made to measure for interiors, outdoor areas or public space. Each piece is worked through ergonomics, durability and visual coherence, using precision manufacturing and materials chosen to last.
- Lightweight roofs and shadingDesign, fabrication and installation of lightweight roofs and shading structures
- Lightweight structures, canopies and pergolas for outdoor areas. Structural engineering and architectural design together, for thermal comfort, sun protection and a coherent look across car parks, terraces and common areas.
- Bespoke playgroundsDesign, fabrication and installation of playgrounds and recreational areas
- Play space built end to end around safety, accessibility and durability. Designs meet national and international standards and use certified materials that stand up to daily use.
- Sculpture and public artDesign, fabrication and installation of sculpture and public art
- The technical, structural and constructional side of sculptural and artistic work. Concept design, three-dimensional modelling, structural engineering and specialist finishes, bringing identity and cultural value to an urban or corporate setting.
