Visuals to represent the concept in situe for approval before fabrication
The Royal Coat of Arms, translated from the King’s new 2D crest into a four-metre relief for permanent installation on the new Royal Courts of Justice, Fleet Street. Modelled from the illustrative artwork through to CNC-milled limestone, with sign-off from the Royal Garter at each stage. Commissioned by the City of London via Avison Young, in collaboration with Eric Parry Architects.










Initial images of the extended Royal Crest during the fabrication process, provided by Avison Young.

Due to the final crest being such large scale (4*4m), the design had to be split into 8 segments and reassembled. 





The City of London Crest presented a different challenge. Starting from 3D scan data of the existing crest at Leadenhall Market, the degraded geometry, inconsistent surface detail, and scanning artefacts required a complete rebuild.

The crest was reconstructed and refined for CNC limestone production at four metres across, while ensuring stylistic consistency with the newly designed Royal Coat of Arms. Surface treatment, relief depth, and decorative detail were adjusted so both crests share a coherent visual language.
