I’m creating a 6-foot-tall outdoor sculpture for a Florida beach and need a complete design package that captures the idea of ship ribs rising from the sand. The piece must read as an abstracted hint of a hull rather than a literal boat form. I’ve settled on steel as the sole material and want it to weather naturally, so please plan for a rustic, pre-oxidized finish that will continue to patina in the salty air without compromising structural integrity. The footprint is limited to roughly 3 ft × 3 ft at the base, with curves that flare upward and inward. One key requirement is a dedicated selfie moment: an arch or sweeping curve low enough for visitors to stand beneath, framed by the ribs, so the ocean forms the backdrop in photos. For fabrication and approval I’ll need: • Concept sketches that communicate proportion and flow. • A scale 3D model or high-resolution renders showing the sculpture in situ on sand, at sunrise and midday lighting. • Fabrication drawings with steel gauge, weld locations, anchoring details, and surface-treatment notes for the weathered finish. • Installation guidelines addressing coastal wind load and corrosion. Keep the lines clean yet dramatic, and feel free to suggest subtle lighting or plinth treatments if they help accentuate the curves at night. Once these deliverables are in place I’ll pass them to the local fabricator for quoting and permitting.
