A glassboard serving as both guardrail and structure

some parts like this latch are just made to be touched--it is a re-purposed chain-link fence component

re-purposed fence-parts for the guardrail of an artist retreat lodge in the desert, inspired by the plants that are blown into fences.

mild steel in the desert

An artist's studio at a retreat, this guardrail actually meets code too

One in a series of many light fixtures, this one features a willow tree

A custom fireplace that required a custom grill with elegant, slightly curved parts so light it is a joy to lift

A hybrid gate hung from a jumbo rock cairn

Metal is a go-to material for so many solutions: supporting structure large and small, even suspending the landing here and also creating a riser for the concrete at the top tread. the railing is all of scrap rebar leftover from foundation work.

#3 rebar bent over the knee to create a guardrail infill with scrap material

Hot-dipped everything: even chain-link fence parts repurposed as a latch and rebar hoops flattened into a gate

Inspired by an old planing mill handrail this bent plate wraps its way around plaster walls while the galvanized risers brighten up the fire stair

Cast-away metals re-born as an urban garden fence

A symphony of metals energize this bridge
