The brief for this commission was "something vibrant, unique and creative ".
Naval pennants flying in the wind were used as inspiration for these unusual railings because of their seafront location.
The forged and textured bands pick up on this and also reflect the drystone wall the railings sit on.
This texture is highlighted by the
graphite enhanced paint used.
Unlike conventional railings, there is no frame to support these railings, instead all the structure comes from the bands and posts. The
stainless steel finials were forged then
electropolished
and are based around seedpods seen in the local flora. The glass finials were specially made for the commission by
Stuart Ackroyd.
The owner also commissioned these unique gates to match the railings
