A copper facade was created and fixed onto a proprietary brand security door

The design incorporated large floating areas of beaten copper that would depict the distinct shadows formed in the dunes. These shadows become more obvious when viewed from inside.

The “flora” overlays the shadow areas and links them together structurally. Some of the “flora” are enamelled while other areas are burnished or patinated to highlight the design

The client also wanted two ceramic urns to be located on plinths to either side of the front entrance.

These urns were also to incorporate native floral motifs referenced from the dunes.

Once the urns were made the copper work framework was made. Copper flora were then attached to the framework

Drawings were produced for the manufacture of the terrazzo plinths.

Drawings

Terrazzo bases were made to sit on the limestone plinths and elevate the urns

The wide urn was unlidded and made with a drain hole to the bottom, water being directed to the rear of plinth.
Some of the copper work was patinated to create highlights.

The tall urn was lidded and the copper work floral motifs were design to empathise with the shape of the urn.

The glaze used on the urns was chosen to compliment the patinated copper work.

The birdbath was commissioned to add focus to a favoured morning spot in the garden and to provide a welcome bath for the many varieties of birds which frequent the native plants.
