A made-to-measure balustrade enclosing an exterior basement stair opening and continuing along the connected stair flight.

What was created

  • Metal guarding around the exterior stair opening
  • Connected balustrade sections beside the landing
  • Formed scroll details at the handrail ends

Design considerations

  • The guarding follows the perimeter and changes in level around the stair opening
  • Closely spaced vertical bars create a consistent rhythm across each section
  • Curved handrail ends soften the termination of the metalwork
