Taliesin Building, Swansea University
The helical staircase we designed, manufactured and installed for this project was part of a £2M refurbishment of the Taliesin Arts Centre at the Singleton Campus, Swansea University.
Transforming the theatre space.
The aim of the project was to transform the theatre which is used by students and the Swansea community into a student learning and creativity zone. It would create a flexible space for students to study and learn, for people to meet, and for groups and societies to hold activities. Our commercial stairs needed to harmonise perfectly with this new space.
