Architectural Columns and Pillars

Columns and Pillars can be structural or decorative in function. They can be used to convey strength and stability or to add warmth and intimacy to a living space. Structural columns can be used to open up a wall opening, while decorative columns can be used to define or separate living spaces while allowing an open floorplan. Below are photos of three examples.

Columns, wing walls, wainscoting & wall frames Formalizing a large foyer. This room originally had bare walls, an oversized passageway and undersized moldings. Our solution: Fabricate wing walls, install 6 inch columns, then add custom header details above the existing door casings. Lastly, we installed custom wall frames below a double chair rail around the room and down the stairway. The result: breathtaking.
Commercial Retrofit Pillars
These pillars are actually replacements of the failing originals. We were contracted to retrofit nearly two dozen of the original pillars surrounding the building. These pillars are decorative enclosures for the steel columns that support the structure. We had to recreate five different models, but all match seemlessly with the remaining originals.
Custom Commercial Columns
Custom pillars for new doorway Opening up a wall.
This renovation required us to widen and move the doorway between the kitchen and living room. We were able to efficiently accomplish this by containing the containing double studs within these custom fabricated pillars. This method allowed us to utilize the existing header, dramatically reduce the construction costs, add a focal point to two rooms while creating a more open feel to this area of their home.
