Steel,
as craft.
If you can imagine it,
we can make it.
infrastructure
We make steelwork people stop and look at — and that passes every inspection. From a single sculptural staircase to handrails on a live train station, the same hands measure it, draw it, weld it and install it.
Who we work for
One workshop, three kinds of client. The same standard for all of them.
Residential
Homeowners, architects and builders who want something made properly — staircases, gates, balustrades, screens and canopies.
Commercial
Builders and contractors on retail, hospitality and office fit-outs — structural steel, awnings, stairs and custom metalwork.
Public & rail infrastructure
Handrails, grab rails and barriers on train stations and public sites, delivered with the paperwork, inductions and safety these jobs demand.
What we make
Staircases & balustrades
Straight, spiral and floating stairs with matching handrails.
Gates & fences
Driveway, pedestrian and sliding gates, ready for automation.
Screens & ironwork
Security screens, feature walls and one-off decorative pieces.
Canopies & pergolas
Entry canopies, carports and pergolas built for Perth weather.
Structural steel
Beams, columns, portal frames and connections, with shop drawings.
Handrails & barriers
Compliant handrails, grab rails and safety barriers for public sites.
Shopfitting & fixtures
Custom counters, shelving and display units in steel, stainless steel and aluminium — for retail, cafés and restaurants.
Simple, from start to finish
Site measure
We come to site, measure everything and listen to what you need.
Design & shop drawings
You approve the design and detailed drawings before any steel is cut.
Fabrication
Cut, welded and finished in our own Perth workshop.
Installation
Our own team installs, checks every connection and leaves the site clean.
Engineering precision, an artist's eye
Kreo Design is the architectural steel studio of NVC Engineering, based in East Victoria Park, WA. Founded by Tony Capoccitti, it brings together steel design, detailing and fabrication under one roof — to create steelwork that is as beautiful as it is sound.
We believe steel can be more than structure. A staircase, a balustrade or a canopy is often the first thing people see and touch in a building — so we treat every piece as both an engineering problem and a piece of design. It has to carry the load, meet the standard and still look right.
Every job is handled in-house by the same small team: we measure on site, produce the 3D model and shop drawings, fabricate and finish in our own workshop, and install it ourselves. When a project needs it, we visit the site with our structural engineer before anything is drawn — so we can find solutions others might miss.
Being a small team is our strength. The same people follow every job from the first sketch to the last bolt, so nothing gets lost between designer, fabricator and installer. We check every weld, every dimension and every finish ourselves before it leaves the workshop. That is how we can guarantee the quality — whether it is a feature staircase for a family home, a commercial fit-out, or handrails for a public train station.
