Brains, beauty and brawn: who says you have to choose?
The modern and sleek aesthetic of this stair and guard rail combo would make it the focal point of any room, but did you know that it is also hiding a very clever secret? The guard rail doesn't just look great; it actually supports the stairs, too!
The minimalistic appearance of the structural components is achieved by turning the guard rail into gravity-supporting structural members. In other words, it is strong, smart and beautiful, proving that you really can have it all!
Corbally Consulting performed the structural design of stair threads, guard pickets and all associated connections.
