Custom Architectural Steel Railing

This custom residential railing project demonstrates the complete design-to-production approach behind Rogers Technical Design. Beginning with an original geometric concept, multiple design options were developed for the client, refining the selected direction into a distinctive architectural feature that complemented the home's existing woodwork. The finished design features a bold circular centerpiece integrated into an asymmetrical arrangement of horizontal and vertical steel elements — black metalwork contrasting with natural wood posts and rails.

• Create an original architectural feature that complements the home's existing woodwork
• Give the client real choices through multiple design concepts and revisions
• Carry the selected design through to a buildable, production-ready result

• Developed original artwork and multiple design concepts with client revisions
• Built CAD models and technical visualizations to refine the selected direction
• Produced fabrication-ready cutting geometry for the steel panels
• Coordinated with the fabrication contractor and troubleshot through production

• Panel geometry developed as flat, cut-ready parts sized for the fabricator's equipment
• Circular centerpiece integrated into the asymmetrical field without weakening the panel structure
• Steel panels detailed to set cleanly between the contractor's wood posts and rails
• Physical cutting, finishing, and delivery performed by a separate fabrication contractor
