Craft details

Why dome work is different

Geometry & weather

Curved surfaces demand careful waterproofing, expansion detailing, and finishes that move with the structure through seasons.

Gold leaf expertise

Gilding at height requires surface prep, material selection, and application skill so finishes endure sun, wind, and pollution.

Landmark care

Domes are often community landmarks. We plan access, safety, and sequencing to protect the building and the surrounding site.
