When creating a sculpture or architechtural feature, it all starts with an idea, then a drawing. It is important that every piece of work is individual and unique to the client. Sometimes a private commission or part of an architects vision. Many different materials are used and should sit harmoniously within their final surroundings, transforming the space with creativity, texture and function. JR

Anthony Mascola, owner of Toni & Guy and Bedhead Studio wanted a sculpture for his London penthouse. From a range of design drawings Anthony chose this design. A four foot maquette was then made, firstly to allow any design changes prior to the full size sculpture be started. The final sculpture was made using a selection of steel rods, twisted and bent to shape. The sculpture was delivered in two halves, then welded together on site. A series of other sculptures have since been commissioned by the client, in different styles and positions. JR

T h e eco pro j ect

The client, Will Anderson bought a plot of land in Clapham. His dream was to build his own Eco friendly house, with self-sufficient energy sources such as solar energy panels and thermal ducts drilled deep under the propertys foundations. The client wanted to create something organic and unique, using as much reclaimed material as possible. The front garden needed a perimeter fence the idea was to create a design that looked like twigs and branches, flowing and random, like a forrest. JR

Tree House: Garden perimeter Will Anderson 30 feet long - 4 feet high Various scrap metal Laquered and polished

The back garden perimeter was designed as a craggy rock relief, which breaks up the reclaimed brick wall. The effect breaks up the wall with undulating natural lines and complementing the plants nearby . This in effect becomes the focal point when veiwed from the living space, mimicking the fiery colours of the adjacent foliage.
