in designing a space that honors the tradition of blacksmiths, we intentionally embed reminders of their antecedent crafts into every corner, ensuring that while modernity may attempt to scorn their time-old techniques, we instead celebrate them. the entryway is marked by an ornate gate, requiring an 'access code', metaphorically suggesting a reset to the beginning of craftsmanship, where every visitor can appreciate the foundational skills that built our tools and cities. this code isn't just numerical but is a tangible connection to history, inviting all who enter to engage deeply with the art and science of forging.
