THE TANNERIES

This beautiful, wharf-style warehouse conversion required an external access staircase to all floors of the building. The stair design is in-keeping  with the traditional style of this style building, but with a more minimal approach. The larger, winding treads and shallow rise of the staircase creates a stunning helix pattern, and the thin, steel sections that wrap around suspended, tensioned rods give the appearance of almost defying gravity. The staircase as a whole, is hung from above, making the engineering quite challenging. However, the feature this created from the top of the building was definitely worth the challenge.
