madlab stairs 1

madlab stairs 2

Bespoke stair case designed by red, commissioned as part of the madlab retrofit. The three-storey staircase adds both a safe means of escape and some visual drama.

One of the problems of a building as old as the madlab premises is the uncertainty over what holds what up, so the structure is designed and arranged to minimise the loads on parts of the building liable to be more fragile.

The primary support structure also helps to tie the building together. The steel was cut straight from the 3D computer model in Darwen.

The folded lightweight treads on top, confusing many with their rigidity despite an apparent lack of support, were folded in Middleton and welded in Mosely.
