Get your Maker On.

All right, everyone is getting in on the Maker scene...

To help you out, 522 industries is introducing the Analog Firebox. Its just like our original firebox but now in Analog! If you are into making things and just starting out, might as well try your hand at making a truly worthwhile project.  You need a bottle of wine, (you can substitute a couple of beers, bourbon or even Bubbly water) some wood, kindling, paper, some matches, the 522 industries analog Firebox™ and a few friends. Make a small stack in the middle of the Firebox™, starting with the paper, then add kindling and top that off with the wood. (Oak is great) Next, light the paper with the match, and watch the magic.  Now open your libations, delight your friends and feel the warmth of the fire you you have just made! Congratulations! You are a true Maker! The 522 Analog Firebox is made of 3/16" A588 Cor-ten steel so it will weather nicely in your yard. If that wasn't enough there is a handy storage area for spare parts! You know.. because we care! Call us for pricing!

Noe Valley Charm

Whats NOT to like about Noe Valley...?

It's pretty much smack dab in the middle of the city, close to restaurants, parks, and there is great weather.  It is truly one of the areas that make San Francisco a gem...speaking of gems here is the back yard and roof deck we just finished there in collaboration with Feldman Architecture and Blair Burke the GC .  Stay tuned for the interior stair and beautiful steel and wood cabinet we did on the inside.

Weathering heights

Sure you love metal and the outdoors... and if you are looking for something for your Yorkshire manor house on the moors, Consider Cor-ten or A588 as we like to call it, being that the whole cor-ten is brand name...or you can call it weathering steel or for sheet A606.... The good thing about it is that it develops abeautiful patina and doesn't ever rust through, what ever you want to call it is fine with us so long as you call us when you need it.. Planters? We got them....firebox? no problem... Or do you want water instead of fire.. we can check that fountain off your list as well.  Present us with the problem and we will solve it.

In the wild

 

Just captured the not so elusive 522 Firebox in the wild.  We personally think it looks stunning in its natural environs.  With its hidden propane tank we think it could possibly be a member of the  infraclass of marsupials.  Its natural hardwood latch and adjustment knob make me think it has been domesticated. Call us, we can release one into your yard as well...they make great backyard pets.  Sure to be loved by all your friends, and they are great around drinks and chats.

Gather around the fire

It's that time of year... 

The days are getting shorter and the nights colder, and of course it is time for a cocktail party.  I don't know about you but I love to go to friends houses and sit next to the fire pit, laugh and drink and nibble.
Then you go home...and you, your clothes, your partner and unless you shower berfore you go to bed,

your sheets and pillows....
smell like a campfire. 

Well,

we are here to help...

Introducing the New 522 Industries

We use faux river rock, they are actually lava rocks and good for fire pits.

You can buy one now....just in time for the holidays.

Call us, we have one waiting for you.

19 Years...

Wow 19 years ago we started what is now Five Twenty Two Industries. Here is one of our latest for Ross Levy over at .. yes, yes, you know Levy Art and Architecture. He wanted to preserve the greenery, well.. at least the view of it from the deck. This unfinished steel will develop a nice patina as the garden takes it over... I like the tree house effect....here's to another 19 years...But don't wait 19 years call NOW!... operators are standing by.

Making a differnce...everytime you walk your dog.

It's nice to have your work appreciated. It's nice to make a difference. We took direction from John Lum, you know from John Lum Architecture. He designed this beautifully simple sidewalk garden that judging from all the people who stopped by while we were installing the cor-ten boxes and by the note someone left, people in the neighborhood seem to really love it. We have changed a dull, boring, dirty, hot, sidewalk to a nice little oasis. Yes we can do it for you.

Landscape Architecture Cover Model

So...looks like we made the cover of Landscape Architecture... yes yes Thank you. We did the Cor-Ten Fountain and the retaining wall here... this for the old SF Sunset Magazine Idea house. The article can be read here. Plenty of great shots inside the rag so pick up your copy now. And the fountain and retaining wall could of course be bought from your fav metal works.

***Update*** HA just read the article myself and although we are not mentioned and they have a some great shots of our work, you can get an idea of the "tension" there was on the job site...just love the gossip....now... let see what Paris Hilton is up to...

***Another Damn Update*** Funky website that landscape Architecture site ....they change their links around and our link no longer links to the article....
