Anythingbutordinary approached Craftbuilt to create their vision for an eye-catching yet delicate street appeal for their restored villa. The client was drawn the C9 Fretwork and BF3 finial (custom made to size), however wanted to link the two elements together. With an addition of a TD3 teardrop at the end of each bracket on the porch combined with a bespoke butterfly like piece of fretwork surrounding the finial beneath the bargeboards, this beautiful ornate piece of fretwork created a delightful image from the road front. A bonus feature was the lovely shadows it cast on the weatherboards behind.
