The exterior courtyard, a serene and visually appealing oasis, provided the perfect space for occupants to enjoy outdoor breaks, lunches, and intimate gatherings, fostering a harmonious blend of work and leisure.
Architects can face challenges when specifying a railing system for such projects. The perfect railing must not only withstand the test of time but also maintain an aesthetic consistency with the overall design. For exterior railing installations, it is crucial to ensure that the chosen solution is durable, safe, and visually appealing, all while meeting building codes and regulations. The solution to these challenges was found in a collaboration between Clean Scapes and HDI Railings. By combining their collective knowledge and expertise, they devised a railing system that could not only endure the pressures of heavy foot traffic and ever-changing weather conditions but also harmonize with the sleek, modern design of the cutting-edge office complex.
Striking the delicate balance between form and function can be challenging. The railing system needed to be structurally sound and compliant with safety regulations, while also contributing to the overall aesthetic appeal of the building. This predicament required a meticulous evaluation of materials, designs, and engineering principles to arrive at the most viable solution.
The CIRCUM™ Square post system emerged as the ideal choice, addressing the concerns and needs of architects, building professionals, and occupants alike. With its sleek, modern design and robust construction, the railing system seamlessly complemented the overall aesthetic of the cutting-edge office complex, enhancing its visual appeal and providing a safe environment for its users.
Constructed with mechanical threaded connections, the CIRCUM™ Square post system ensured precision and steadfastness in its assembly, lending an air of durability and reliability to the overall structure. Enhancing the functionality and visual appeal of the courtyard’s wheelchair-accessible and pedestrian ramp, the system employed stainless steel infill rods, providing unobstructed, picturesque views of the surrounding lush landscape.
Further contributing to the overall ensemble, LED illumination was integrated into the CIRCUM™ Square railing system, striking the perfect balance between safety and style for the occupants to enjoy. When it comes to selecting a commercial railing system that can effectively meet the challenges of the industry, building professionals rely on HDI Railings and its impressive repertoire of solutions.
