Big Red Stairwell

A striking architectural feature in the heart of Glasgow, the Big Red Staircase is a bold example of how steelwork can transform a building’s identity. Annandale Design was appointed to fabricate and install the staircase and accompanying stainless steel handrails, bringing an existing design concept to life with precision, quality, and attention to detail throughout every stage of the project.

Project Overview & Scope of Works

  • Bold architectural centrepiece with high visual impact
  • Precision fabrication to match an existing design
  • Durable, high-quality painted finish
  • Stainless steel handrails for contrast and longevity
  • Seamless installation within an urban environment

Delivery, Coordination & Installation

Working from an existing design, our team focused on delivering a flawless fabrication and installation process for this visually impactful staircase. The bold red finish required careful preparation and finishing to achieve a consistent, high-quality appearance across all components.

The installation phase demanded precise coordination, ensuring the staircase aligned perfectly with the building’s structure and surrounding elements. The addition of stainless steel handrails provided both a functional and aesthetic contrast, complementing the vibrant staircase while maintaining durability and compliance with safety standards.

Operating within a developed urban environment, logistics and sequencing were key to ensuring a smooth installation without disruption. Our experienced team ensured all elements were delivered and installed efficiently, maintaining high standards throughout.

Final Result & Visual Impact

The completed staircase now stands as a standout architectural feature, combining bold design with robust engineering. Annandale Design successfully delivered a high-quality installation that enhances the building’s character while ensuring long-term durability, safety, and visual impact.
