From conception to done — architectural metal that protects the design.
We engineer, fabricate and install cladding, custom metalwork, railings, gates and landscape steel for commercial projects across Silicon Valley and the greater Bay Area — solving constructability early to deliver exactly what the architect intended, at a cost the client is comfortable with.
An architectural metal partner from the first sketch to final install
Architectural Systems thrives on getting in at the early design stage to budget, consult and problem-solve. Our combined architectural and structural engineering backgrounds let us find solutions that deliver exactly what the architect wants — at a cost the client is comfortable with.
We specialize in unique solutions that shorten scope durations and reduce building cost without sacrificing the designer's intent — across cladding, ornamental and miscellaneous metals, railings, gates, sunshades, rooftop amenities and landscape steel.
Architectural metal & fabrication services
One shop for the full architectural metal scope — fewer vendor handoffs, less schedule risk, and consistent detailing across every element.
Architectural Cladding & Façade Systems
Engineered metal cladding, rainscreen and façade systems — from composite panels and laser-cut screens to custom riveted skins — detailed, fabricated and installed to protect design intent.
Learn moreArchitectural Metalwork & Miscellaneous Metals
Custom ornamental and miscellaneous metals — blackened steel features, radiused frames, laser-cut elements, feature stairs and one-off architectural metal that defines an interior.
Learn moreMetal Railings & Guardrail Systems
Cable rail, stainless and glass railing systems, and code-compliant guardrails — engineered for safety and detailed for the clean lines architects want.
Learn moreSunshades, Louvers & Mechanical Screening
Architectural sunshades, custom louvers, glass canopies and mechanical screening that control light and conceal equipment — engineered for wind, weather and clean lines.
Learn moreCustom Metal Gates & Entry Systems
Custom fabricated metal gates and entry features — vehicular and pedestrian — built as architectural statements and engineered for daily, dependable operation.
Learn moreLandscape Steel & Finish Woodwork
Trellises, sculptural accents, seating, signage and finish woodwork — the landscape steel and wood elements that turn outdoor amenity spaces into destinations.
Learn moreRooftop Amenity & Outdoor Structures
Rooftop bars, trellises, IPE pavers on pedestals and outdoor amenity structures that turn underused roofs into signature gathering spaces.
Learn moreRooftop Walkway, Plank & Ramp Systems
Rooftop walkway plank, ramp and access systems that provide safe, code-aware routes for maintenance and egress across roofs and equipment areas.
Learn morePedestrian Control & Guard Shacks
Pedestrian control elements, bollards, barriers and custom guard shacks that manage how people and vehicles move through a site — built to match the architecture.
