Elevating Safety Standards with a Design-Focused Railing Retrofit
Project Review
This project involved the retrofitting of a commercial railing in a two-story office building, transforming a standard safety feature into a striking design element. The original railing, which no longer met current building codes, was carefully removed and replaced with a custom, code-compliant design. The new railing, finished in bold red, not only ensures safety but also serves as a visual focal point within the space, turning a functional feature into an impactful statement.
The retrofit successfully combined form and function, upgrading the safety infrastructure while enhancing the building’s overall aesthetic. By aligning with building codes and incorporating a modern design, the project delivered a solution that balances practicality with visual appeal.
How We Plan Around This
For retrofit projects like this, we prioritize safety and compliance while ensuring the design enhances the space. Removing the original railing is completed with precision to avoid damage to the surrounding structure. The new railing is custom-fitted to meet building codes and installed with a focus on durability and stability.
Incorporating bold design choices, such as the striking red finish, allows us to elevate a standard safety feature into a design highlight. Installation is planned to minimize disruption, ensuring the office remains operational throughout the process. With expertise in retrofitting projects, we deliver solutions that meet safety standards and add a unique, modern aesthetic to the space.
