A grand entrance certainly beffiting any dignitary guest that may be entertained. This recently completed Beverly Park project was designed by the well known designer Frank Pennino and builders Winters-Schram and Assocites for an unnamed hedge fund practitioner and was to built impress.
This railing was done in a"Contemporary French" style and took on a life of it's own and developed as the interior took shape.
The designer wanted old school type construction so there were no welds on the entire run of railing was assembled with screws over 3000 drill and taps.
The newel posts I designed for Frank are quite unique as they spiral inwards, maintaining a 36" hieght from the floor to the steps giving them a sweeping feeling.
A custom built spiral stair that went up to a loft/playroom from a childs room, the color was matched to Batman's costume and was custom mixed and applied by my favorite powder coater WAAG of Van Nuys CA. We applied 3 coats on the treads for durability.
These stairs were less embellished in order to focus on the main entry stairs.
The hand wrought entry gates.
Some hand wrought exterior stairs again with the signature inward spiral at the newel.
Chimney straps that served two purposes, decorative as well as structural engineered to hold up the massively heavy stone chimneys, we did three of them, they actually spanned a 14' length and weighed over 300 lbs each, the center horizontal member was 1- 1/2" square solid iron and twisted.
A functional balconette attached to the master bedroom.
