Stair Maker

project: The Serpentine Stairs

location: Potrero Hill, San Francisco
date: 2018
size: 1.1 acres


Description: We developed this script in order to create multiple metal staircase runs for a public stairway. The script allows us to control the side panels and guardrails, the tread/raiser ratios, the railing lengths and diameters, and the overall length and slope of each run.
