Searching for townhouse ideas? This is where copper comes in.

The townhouse is the home that is lived vertically — the urban residential building that is experienced as a journey from the entrance hall at the bottom to the bedroom at the top, each level distinct, each level connected by the staircase that is the spine of the entire building. The copper piece that makes every level of the townhouse feel as considered as the great urban residential buildings of history.

The Copper Argument for the Townhouse
Copper belongs in the townhouse the way stone belongs in the Georgian facade — not as a decorative addition but as a material that has always been part of the great urban residential traditions of the world.
Copper is the material of the great urban residential tradition. The copper lantern above the townhouse door. The copper letterbox beside the entrance. The copper knocker on the front door. The copper detail of the Georgian cornice. Copper has always been part of the great townhouse tradition — the metal that belongs in the urban residential building, the material that makes the townhouse feel as considered as the great urban residential buildings of history.
Copper works with every townhouse material. The Georgian plaster, the Victorian brick, the Edwardian tile, the contemporary render — copper works with every material of the townhouse interior. The warm tone of copper against the cool white of Georgian plaster. The hammered surface against the warm red of Victorian brick. The warm metal against the cool grey of the contemporary townhouse interior. Copper is the material that makes the townhouse interior feel as warm as the home it has always been.
Copper is the most vertical surface available. The townhouse's defining architectural feature is the staircase — the vertical element that connects every level of the home, the spine of the entire building. The copper panel on the staircase wall is experienced at a scale that no single-floor home can match — the full-height staircase wall, the surface that accompanies every journey through the levels of the townhouse from bottom to top.

"The vine staircase panel and the family crest on the entrance hall wall changed the entire townhouse. Every journey through the levels of the home, every ascent and descent through the floors, the copper makes the townhouse feel as considered as the great urban residential buildings of history — the warm metal on the staircase wall, the hammered surface alive in the light of the urban home. The townhouse went from a vertical home to a legacy. The copper made it permanent." — Natuross customer
