National Hall Stair (Westport, CT)

As the lead mechanical designer on this project at Feature Walters, I was involved in a site visit to Connecticut to take detailed measurements and collaborate with the architects and project team. The staircase transitions through a large framed window opening in the century-old, irregular brick wall, winding 90 degrees before running parallel to what was once the exterior face of the wall. Using site data, I developed precise 3D models to ensure seamless transitions between components, including the steel stringer, wood treads, stainless steel picket rails, and leather-wrapped handrail. Tight reveals on curves and interfaces were carefully modeled, and all components were context-fit, shimmed, and balanced in the shop before being packed for reassembly on-site.
