Rickenbach Construction/ Beaty residence

The massive beamed architecture, along with a summer trip to Nevada's old gold mines provided the inspiration for the railings and other hand forged ironwork in this Martis Camp home. Jesse and I enjoyed creating the "Miner Details" and had maybe a little too much fun with the pun.
We both would like to thank Mr. and Mrs Beaty and Mr. Andreas Rickenbach and Rickenbach Construction for this opportunity.
