Monument Stair – Turnkey Architectural Feature

The Ask :

Deliver a turnkey design, build, and installation solution for a signature, fully cantilevered stair feature. The client sought a fabricator with the expertise to navigate both design complexity and construction logistics.

The Problem :

The stair design posed unique architectural and structural challenges, requiring a solution that would:

  • Minimize field welding to preserve indoor air quality and simplify on-site installation.
  • Ensure the stair felt solid and stable underfoot, with no noticeable bounce or movement.
  • Be executed safely and efficiently under pandemic-related constraints.

The Team:

TSWL collaborated with its specialist engineer to develop a concept that balanced aesthetics, structural integrity, and constructability. The team worked closely with the client to ensure the final product aligned with both design intent and installation feasibility.

The Solution :

TSWL delivered a fully integrated solution by:

  • Developing a custom design concept that reduced field work and streamlined installation.
  • Engineering the stair to exceed minimum standards for dynamic comfort and vibration control, ensuring a reassuring and stable experience for users.
  • Executing the project with a safe and efficient installation program, maintaining quality and precision throughout.

This project highlights TSWL’s strength as a full solutions provider, capable of transforming architectural vision into reality through collaborative design, expert engineering, and turnkey execution.
