Christian Lewis: Charlie Chaplin Mansion

Some photo's from a project that was a collaboration between designer/artist Juan Carlos Vargas and myself. This project was executed at the Charlie Chaplin Mansion in the Hollywood Hills for the new owner. It was kept somewhat historically true but had some major twists interjected by the architect. We were given some artist license on the " Art Nouveau" railings but held fast when it came to the "Gothic" style railngs which were custom cut and cast in steel after which we did a bronze rub finish. The Nouveau railings were riveted together to achieve that authentic style with no welds showing.
