After meeting with the client at their second home and discussing what sort of design treatment they were looking for in their custom railings, we came up with the idea of using a pond theme. What's interesting here is that this home is situated on a large wooded country estate overlooking a large pond filled with cattails, dragonfly's, frogs, and what have you. Since I had already designed and produced some very unique custom railings for this client in their first home, and they were very pleased with the design and style of ironwork, they requested that I continue with this same style of custom railings for their new home.
