A design schedule could then assign the thirteen structures to their locations and identify the dimensions of each version. Material choices, base stability, weather exposure and any lighting would need coordinated review, together with the division between fabrication supply and local site responsibilities.
A coastal horse sculpture brief requests a mirror finish and a defined material, with pose and full proportions still to develop.
Application
Outdoor coastal setting
Requested material
SS316, 2 mm sheet; mirror polished
Requested height
2.5 m
Details & planning+
Quantity
One horse sculpture.
Height
2,500 mm final height requested in the brief.
Material
SS316 stainless steel with 2 mm sheet thickness requested.
Finish
Mirror polished.
Environment and lighting
Outdoor coastal setting; no integrated lighting requested.
Design information
Pose, length, width, model, support and anchoring details need to be established from a restored reference.
A proposed next step would restore the reference image and develop a three-dimensional model at the specified height. This would allow the complete proportions, joint locations and polishing approach to be reviewed. Internal support, base and anchoring details would need assessment for the actual site. Packing dimensions and handling arrangements would follow the agreed design rather than being inferred from the height and sheet thickness alone.
