Hillman Group wanted to create a modern space that featured their extensive product line. Working with Design and Architecture firm, SDI Design , kraftwerk was contracted to help develop, engineer and price a solution for this project after many other vendors declined to quote such a unique piece. The development team worked collaboratively with SDI to produce a timely and budgeted solution for the feature staircase.

Once the design was approved, the team engaged a fabrication engineer in conjunction with the base building engineer to solve a structure that could support a stable floating landing. After receiving approval of the engineered solution, SDI and the Client, kraftwerk proceeded to fabricate the staircase. The staircase was modeled in Solidworks and supported a digitally fabricated element to reduce assembly time and a result that is as close to the rendering as you could imagine.
