The shapes and sizes of the pots were hand selected by Northland to fit the spaces and provide an overall balance. The client provided an image of an abstract art piece, from which the Northland design team devised a steel and copper fire sculpture reminiscent of the cauldron that contains the Olympic flame. The designers made a small-scale card stock model of the sculpture, and with the client's approval, they commissioned Christian De Francesca, partner at the Salt Lake City-based custom blacksmithing shop Lighting Forge, to complete the feature. Above Northland designed an Olympic-cauldron style fire feature for the main entry of the house based on a piece of abstract art provided by the homeowners. Salt Lake City blacksmithing firm Lightning Forge was commissioned to craft the steel and copper sculpture, which greets guests at the top of the driveway. Lightning Forge produced a full-scale model of the sculpture from plywood and brought it to the site to check size and scale. With a few minor adjustments, the final product was built and installed, adding to the dramatic entryway that greets arriving guests. February 2013 37
