Architectural 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.
Some of the most memorable elements in a building are also the hardest to build: a conference room of glass, radiused steel and wood, a coffee bar clad in angular blackened steel with backlit logos, a lobby wrapped in riveted aluminum with laser-cut themes. This is the work Architectural Systems was built for.
Our architectural metalwork and miscellaneous metals scope covers the custom, one-off elements that give a commercial interior its character — feature stairs, decorative screens, custom chassis frames, illuminated metal panels and the dozens of miscellaneous-metal items a project needs to come together.
Because we bring architectural and structural engineering to the bench, we solve the connection and constructability questions that custom work always raises, then fabricate to a finish standard that holds up under architectural scrutiny. The result is metalwork that looks like the rendering — and performs like it was engineered, because it was.
Why this scope works better with us
One-Off, Done Right
Feature pieces are where craftsmanship shows. We fabricate custom architectural metal that reads as intentional — clean welds, true radii and finishes coordinated to the design.
Engineering Built In
Frames, chassis and feature elements are engineered for real loads and real connections, so the showpiece is also structurally sound.
Coordinated With the Trades
We detail our metalwork to integrate cleanly with glass, wood, acoustical and electrical scopes — minimizing field conflicts.
Our fabrication process
Design-Assist & Budget
We join at concept or DD to budget, problem-solve constructability, and value-engineer without sacrificing the designer’s intent.
Shop Drawings & Engineering
Detailed shop drawings, connection design and BIM coordination, submitted for architect and GC approval.
Fabrication
In-house cutting, forming, welding, laser-cut work and finishing — to architectural tolerances.
Finishing
Powder coat, anodize, paint, patina, blackened steel and specialty finishes coordinated to the spec.
Delivery & Field Installation
Sequenced delivery and professional installation, coordinated to the project schedule.
