A double skin helical staircase for one of the Battersea Developkent buildings
The staircases at one of the Battersea development buildings is a double skin helical staircase - meaning it is a helical staircase with two layers of curved sheet steel that is meticulously shaped to achieve a smooth, flowing appearance, giving the staircase a sculptural quality. It is not just a staircase; it’s an architectural masterpiece that elevates the interior space with its grandeur and artistic expression.
Details
The double skin design of curved sheet steel adds to the stairs structural integrity. The LED lighting is not only functional but it is carefully integrated into the design, accentuating the staircase’s curves and casting subtle glows that enhance its dramatic presence. An additional of a timber handrail brings a touch of natural warmth and softness, perfectly complementing the cool, industrial aesthetic of the steel.
Finish
The painting of the staircase plays a crucial role in achieving the desired finish for architectural features like staircases. By painting the staircase on location, it allows for precision in matching the specific environment’s colour scheme and ensures a flawless, even finish. This approach also considers the structure’s intricate details, making sure that every curve and material is perfectly coated without compromising its overall aesthetic or functionality
