Materials

7 metals,
and how each one behaves.

Seven metals, each cut, formed, welded and finished in-house. We will tell you when the one you had in mind is the wrong one.

Mirror-polished stainless steel columns in a hotel lobby 01 Stainless Steel Cool, precise, structural. The metal that holds a mirror polish and holds it in public. Stainless is what we reach for when a surface has to stay flawless while being touched every day. About stainless steel Hand-beaten brass console table with a stone top 02 Brass Warm, generous, and alive to the touch. The metal most often asked for by name. Brass carries a warmth that no coating can imitate, and it accepts more hand-work than anything else we use. About brass Copper facade cladding with a mirrored organic cut-out 03 Copper Soft, ductile, and never quite finished changing. The most workable metal on the floor and the most unpredictable in service — which is exactly why it is used where character matters more than uniformity. About copper Bronze lift surround along a hotel corridor 04 Bronze Dense, quiet, and expensive-looking without trying. Where brass is warm and copper is bright, bronze is deep. It is the metal we specify when a surface needs weight and restraint at the same time. About bronze Metal baffle ceiling of closely spaced fins 05 Aluminium Light, dimensionally stable, and quietly practical. The metal that solves problems of weight and span. Where a ceiling has to hang or a facade panel has to stay flat over a large area, aluminium is usually the right answer. About aluminium Steel-framed glazed entrance doors to a villa 06 Mild Steel Strong, direct, unapologetically structural. The metal behind the metal. Mild steel does the structural work in most of what we build, and increasingly it is also the visible surface.

The quietest metal we work with. Zinc offers a soft, chalky grey that sits back rather than announcing itself. About zinc

Surfaces

The finish decides how a metal is read.

Mirror, hairline, hammered, etched, antique, patina, PVD. Every metal above takes several of them, and the sample in the hand decides.
