Make a specific idea work in your home with custom metalwork designed around your space. VITI Engineering supports CAD design and custom fabrication for architectural letterboxes, firewood storage, wine racks, shelving, metal furniture and outdoor features. Start with a photograph, sketch or set of measurements, and discuss the proportions, materials and finish that suit your home.
Bespoke metal pieces for distinctive homes
Architectural letterboxes
A letterbox can become part of the entrance design. Consider its relationship to the gate, fence, house numbers and planting, together with practical access for deliveries and collection. Discuss a freestanding or integrated approach, the available opening sizes and your preferred finish. Explore the custom architectural letterbox concept as a starting point for your brief. See custom letterbox design options for your entrance.
Firewood storage and feature cabinets
Bring order to a fireplace area, porch or outdoor entertaining space with storage shaped for the available wall or recess. Think about the quantity of wood, clearance around the fireplace, access for loading and the floor surface. The firewood storage cabinet concept shows one design direction; your dimensions and intended location guide the final arrangement. Explore custom firewood storage options for your space.
Wine displays, shelving and statement furniture
Create a wine display, bar shelf, occasional table or other metal furniture with a considered balance of function and appearance. Bottle size, shelf depth, daily use and adjoining materials all influence the design. View the sculptural metal table concept and home and lifestyle product options to gather ideas for a coordinated project. For bottle storage, view custom steel wine racks and display ideas.
Residential and bespoke metalwork from the project archive
View installed balcony balustrades and vertical feature screens at a Coburg residence, together with interior stair metalwork from previous VITI projects. For a more individual piece, explore a custom Hanuman mandir photographed after fabrication in the workshop. For your home metalwork brief, send photos, approximate dimensions, intended use, preferred finish, any access constraints and your suburb to discuss design, fabrication and site requirements.
Turn your idea into a clear design brief
You do not need a finished drawing to begin. Send photos of the intended location, an overall width, depth and height, and examples of details you like. Explain how the piece will be used, what it needs to hold and which features matter most. Include an indicative budget if available so the scope can be discussed realistically.
CAD modelling can help develop the proportions and communicate the agreed design. Published renders and downloadable models are CAD concepts. Project dimensions, material selections, connections and manufacturing details need to be confirmed for your particular item before fabrication.
Choose materials and finishes for the setting
The right material depends on appearance, exposure and use. Discuss steel, stainless steel or aluminium where appropriate, together with a suitable finish. An outdoor letterbox and an indoor wine display face different conditions. Share the surrounding colours and surfaces, any coastal exposure, and your expectations for cleaning and upkeep. Material and finish availability are confirmed for the project.
Check the space before manufacture
Useful measurements include doorways, stairs, skirting, nearby switches and the final fixing surface. For wall-mounted or built-in pieces, provide photographs of the supporting structure and flag any concealed services. Site checks, delivery access, fixing requirements and any installation scope are discussed before the job is agreed. Bring relevant builder or designer requirements into the brief early.
Custom home metalwork from Toorak to Clyde
VITI serves homeowners and project enquiries across Melbourne, including Toorak and the south-east corridor through Clayton, Dandenong, Berwick and Cranbourne to Clyde North. Tell us your suburb and project stage so suitability and any site visit can be confirmed. You can also explore VITI project examples for context.
Request a custom home metalwork quote. Include your photos, approximate dimensions, suburb and preferred design direction so the discussion starts with the details that matter.
Architectural metalwork from previous work
This original project photograph shows slim vertical steel members beside a timber stair handrail. The proportions and repeated lines illustrate how metalwork can sit within a residential interior. For your custom piece, the dimensions, material and finish are developed around your own setting.
