Architectural metalwork, fabricated with detail.

Project Overview

ARCMET fabricated and installed this custom suspended feature canopy for the Club Hotel in Southern Cross, Western Australia. The canopy was built as a lightweight aluminium structure and finished with brushed stainless steel decorative cladding to create a durable architectural feature above the main bar area.

The underside incorporates slotted plywood panels finished in clear varnish, providing an integrated glass holder system while adding warmth and contrast to the stainless steel and black framing details.

Project Overview

While working at Penguin Facades, Hamza Hotait designed and managed the fabrication and installation of this custom operable pergola system on Level 16 at 240 St Georges Terrace, Perth.

The system was custom designed and engineered because no available off-the-shelf operable pergola system could achieve the required span, waterproofing and integrated drainage performance. The custom blades, frame, gutters and drainage components were developed to suit the project requirements and span approximately 4 metres.

Project Overview

While working at Penguin Facades, Hamza Hotait designed and managed the fabrication and installation of this custom steel spiral staircase for a private residence in Fremantle, Western Australia.

The staircase was developed as a modular kit-form system, with each tread, balustrade section, handrail component and structural element fabricated as separate loose components and assembled on site. This approach allowed the complex spiral geometry to be accurately manufactured, transported and installed within the residential setting.

The finished stair combines powder-coated steel structural elements and treads with stainless steel handrails, creating a durable architectural feature with a clean, lightweight visual appearance.

Project Overview

While working at Perfmet Engineering, Hamza Hotait was responsible for converting the artist's public art concept into a buildable and engineered architectural installation.

The scope involved fabrication and installation of a large-scale façade artwork designed by artist Leanne Bray. Hamza developed the construction approach, coordinated engineering requirements and managed the design, fabrication and installation process to ensure the finished work achieved the artistic intent while satisfying structural and construction requirements.

The project required close coordination with the builder EMCO, the artist and the engineering team, including consideration of structural loads, thermal movement, slab deflection and building movement allowances.
