Photographer: Tom Crane Made of 300, 10-foot steel blades set upright 8 inches apart, the award winning Cor-Ten Cattails Sculptural fence was designed for a home in Berwyn, Pennsylvania as a yard sculpture that also keeps deer out. Made of COR-TEN, a steel alloy that eliminates the need for painting and maintains a rich, dark rust color without corroding, the fence stanchions were cut with a plasma cutter from sheets of the alloy. Each blade stands 8 feet above grade, set in concrete 3 feet below, weighs 80-90 pounds and is 5/8 inch thick. The profile of the blades is an irregular trapezoid with no horizontal connections or supports. Only the gate has two horizontal bars, and each leaf weighs 1200 pounds.

Trapezoid Modfountain created by sculptor, Randy Bolander. The water sculpture is 7 1/2 feet in height and made from corten architectural rusting steel. Designed with four water founts and a low splash radius, it can be installed in a small pool or in ground basin.

When visitors pass through the gate into the forecourt, they experience another array of cantilevered cast concrete steps that “float” up to the front door. Bianchi, a Phoenix based pool and landscape designer, set this rhythmic path to echo the lines and ascending forms of the architects dramatic rusted-steel entry pergola. As part of his Pool and landscape design, Bianchi set a trapezoidal corten reflection pool that doubles as a room divider, channeling visitors for several paces along the entry path by reaching out from the courtyard wall near the gate before allowing them access to the forecourt’s lounging area. An multi arm yucca serves as the sculptural focal point from this perspective, making a serene impression with its form mirrored in the shimmering water of the vanishing edge fountain. Water flows over the corten rusted-steel edges of this courtyard waterfeature and down into a small channel also filled with pebbles. This whole structure was set to finish flush with only a half-inch gap between the water surface and a cast concrete seat wall that extends along the courtyard’s perimeter. The pool’s form is mirrored by a trapezoidal fire pit that sits in a snug corner of the space with a portal aperture just above that allows visitors to peer out at the desert scene beyond, and casting it's firelight out to incoming guests as a welcoming beacon of warmth. michaelwoodall.com

Trapezoid windows may present a challenge for window treatments, contrarily they exhibit their own stunning uniqueness. Plantation shutters are a superb option for trapezoid shaped windows. The tilting feature is most helpful for the room’s light control. Accompanying the shutters is a box pleated valance in large stripe faux silk fabric, repeated on the underlying full closure draperies. The full closure draperies and full closure sheers additionally function in the room’s sun exposure. Applied to the top of the valance is a decorative rope welt, and the bottom contains a decorative open weave band, accentuating the valance single-handedly. The defined geometric shapes of the shutters, valance and draperies naturally compliment the rooms’ multitude of curvilinear furnishings. Altogether, this treatment greatly coalesces with entire bedroom.
