Copper Leafing on Walls


Contemporary use of Metal leaf and particularly Copper Leaf, proved extremely effective for gilding in this architect designed garden extension in North London. The leaf mirrored the external copper cladding on the support walls to the floating roof. This echoed the design brief of creating a flowing space from interior to the exterior.








  1. The copper leaf brings a gorgeous warmth and a beautiful contrast to the green mossy colours in the house and garden.

















2. This wall receives sunlight all day long. As the light strikes the copper, the colours change with the passing hours bringing vibrancy and life to the wall.
