I visited the new Rosanna library today. The balustrade pictured here is 10mm thick steel. Obviously it wouldn’t be a single piece but it looks like one. It’s quite astonishing. I’m puzzled by the fact that it’s painted though. If you use a material like that in a way that’s a bit unusual and clearly meant to be a design feature, don’t hide it with paint 🤷
I dream of having a house with a statement curved staircase like this, that I descend to my guests watching my grand entrance below.
We'll need to go check it out soon. The old library was underwhelming to say the least
Also impressed by the handrail work!
Ooh this is cool!!
