Renovation project in Gemenos near Marseille
Case Study
Architect : BOOMERANG ET MACADAM
Rack and pinion staircase, 15 steps, 3 feet wide, waxed concrete
Anchoring : concrete floor and wall
Client needs and challenges
This ambitious design was pitched by the architect to their client. The main challenge finding a way to position this staircase in front of an open entryway while keeping an open perspective from the kitchen to the dressing room so the windows on both sides would match up throughout the floor.
Why they chose us
The architect contacted Scalin for our renowned precision, especially when it comes to well-defined angles – paramount for this design, as wax finishes do not work on uneven concrete.
Our Solution
To keep an open floor plan from the kitchen to the dressing room, we suggested a rack-and-pinion staircase supported by a dividing wall on one side and suspended on the other, with a waxed concrete finish and painted iron balustrade. The landing support was reinforced by a metal I-beam , positioned at the right angle of the staircase finish. The formwork was made to measure on-site for this staircase, according to the dimensions mentioned above and requested by the architect and customers.
