We’ve been working on a bespoke bas-relief frieze for a new block of private residences in London. A truly special piece inspired by the beautiful designs of Bryan O’Sullivan Studio.

Each section has been carefully modelled and crafted by hand, bringing depth, texture, and character to the space.

Proud of the team’s skill and attention to detail on this one!

Here’s a look at one of the hand-set triglyphs we’re installing on this project – a key element of classical architecture, rooted in the Doric order.

Each triglyph was individually set out by hand around the perimeter of the room, including along a radius to ensure all mitres align perfectly. It’s a meticulous process that requires skill, patience, and an understanding of proportion and symmetry.
