So....today's installment of "This Weeks ideabooks on Houzz" features some illuminating design and some photos of skylights and how "Their location in a room can influence the quality of the space, shaping one's experience of the light that connects inside to outside, house to sky." Sure, sure.. more importantly they include pics of our work... the top pic is from the home of Bruce Wright of SB ARCHITECTS we did the rails and stairs for his home and the bottom picture we did the mantel or is that a hearth...I'll go with hearth, for a job in the Peninsula for John Lum Architecture you can check out more of the stuff we have done on Houzz and put together your own idea book and we can help turn your ideas into reality...
Kudos to John Lum architecture for their award for Sustainable Architecture from California Home and Design. Check out the article HERE. If you look close enough.. and please do, we have something for you in each picture except the bathroom..Now it's time to play "Where's 522?" Kind of like playing where's Waldo without the sweater...First pic.. can you find the dinning table we did?.. That was easy.. How about the Cor-ten house numbers and planter in the second picture? Our beautiful Bookcase in the third? and I know..too easy The railing in the fourth pic... Damn you are good...call us and we can build beautiful things for you as well... We will post bigger pics for those of you having a hard time tomorrow.
But we have just been SOOOO busy, and haven't had too much time to post stuff.... Here is a quickie. New glass railing for a really nice home on 25th St in SF. A glass railing "Wall" with wood cap. The center railing which you can't see to well here is three flights of railing all in one plane and looks pretty sexy.. I'll see if I can dig up another shot for you but for now let this simmer in your brain and try and figure out what we can do for you...

So look who is legal.. now we can VOTE! September 1st was our 18th birthday and now we will be voting for our favorite views (interpret that as you may) The point is, You bought the view.. you should enjoy the VIEW not the railing.. well.. you should enjoy the railing as well so long as you don't sacrifice the view...This roof deck looking down on the Sea Cliff dist in SF just so happens to have quite the spectacular landmark in its purview....gosh where is an english major when you need one...The Anodized aluminum rail will NEVER rust.. it just can't! The only thing that will out last that bridge view is aluminum. They had a steel railing up here that lasted them a year... then they called us. This modular system snapped together in a breeze. You can do it yourself or you could have your contractor do it...or you could not only have us fabricate it.. we could install it as well... go on..give us a ring.
Got wood? Well Take a look and you'll want wood. Handle bars of course... New Five Twenty Two Industries Hardwood handle bars. Layered strips of Walnut and Maple bent to perfection. Get wood...you know, for your street bike.
Anonucing the first two installments to our new Handrail bracket line. The first is the "Tiburon" You know the one right above this here text stuff. It's Hot rolled steel with a clear satin lacquer finish and can either be attached directly to the wood or welded into place.. it really is your choice.. we like the steel base to the wood grip rail.. looks sexy.

Come and get it! Dinner is ready. We just finished up this table/bar/kitchen island thingy for a client in Sonoma. I guess we should just call it a multipurpose kitchen table. Bar height with solid hot rolled steel legs with hidden levelers and a solid walnut top.... It will make ANY dish taste better. Call US for dinner.
Kind of like chocolate and peanut butter... if you are into that kind of thing, and don't have allergies and stuff...Wood and steel pretty much always look great together. This is the back of a house on 26th St in SF where we did some metal work for Blair Burke the contractor and LS|arc the architecture firm....The balcony is zinc plated and then powder coated bronze steel with a galvanized tight mesh grating flooring. The sexy awning is a combination of wood slats and the zinc and powder coated steel like the balcony and railing. Each slat is angled to let the sun in during the winter and keep it out during the hot summer months..super cool...oh and I think you might know the drill.. we can do something like this for YOU too.
Mirror mirror on the wall, who has the fairest fireplace of all....Well, we do of course.. just finished this up for a client in Sonoma. Check it out.. Oh and mirror, tell them who made you as well.... Yes that is right Five Twenty Two Industries is who. Custom mirrors as well.. any size you want... You need something 4' x 7'6" we can make that happen. You know it really brings the room together...
Is to not ruin the view....Stainless wire rails... I mean you bought the View don't ruin it with a railing... We can help out.
Happy New year.. and thank you Bay Area for our best year to date! We had a great time fabricating a bunch of cool stuff this last year and are looking forward to 2010 being even better... Starting off with a new logo and the new website should be up soon... we now have handrail brackets in STOCK and are finishing up packaging and catalogs to send out to the masses so stay tuned 2010 is looking good!
A touch of class...I mean glass...glass, a touch of glass. Glass railing, stairs with oak treads and a "library" wall sheeted (making that one up I think) in Hot rolled steel of course with the aluminum grating walkway to allow light in below.. looks great...let us sheet your walls...wait, well you get the idea. Call us and we can do it for you.
