Custom Architectural Steelwork

Steel, Project

Custom Architectural Steelwork

This project involved detailing of high-precision architectural steel elements such as feature staircases, glass canopy supports, curved railings, and decorative fagade elements. Fab Steel translated conceptual design drawings into fully constructible fabrication models while preserving aesthetics.

We worked closely with the architect to develop parametric shapes and hidden connections. Our detailing was delivered using Steel Structures’ advanced modeling tools, including surface modeling and curved profiles.

Key Deliverables

We create accurate models and fabrication drawings for complex architectural steel elements, coordinating closely with architects to meet both functional and aesthetic project requirements.

• Steel 3D model with custom profiles and curved elements
• Shop and GA drawings with aesthetic finishes
• Connection detailing hidden from visible surfaces
• Laser-cut panel supports and bracket detailing
• Section-based MTOs for accurate procurement
• Welded railing and staircase models

Our Working Process

Architectural detailing demands both creativity and accuracy. We focused on visual clarity, hidden connection planning, and millimeter-level precision in fabrication.

Coordination & Optimization

Aligned detailing with facade, glass, and interior layout requirements.

Model Development

Created complex geometries and curved members using advanced Steel modeling tools.

Drawing & Detailing

Custom Architectural Steelwork drawing and detailing involves precise modeling of complex steel elements, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and fabrication accuracy.

Result & Impact

This project stood out for achieving 100% aesthetic accuracy with full constructibility. Fabricators appreciated the clear weld definitions and pre-cut angles, which minimized fabrication queries. The structure was assembled without deviations from the original architectural vision, enhancing Fab Steel's profile in premium custom steelwork.
