RJC was retained to design a feature interconnecting staircase for Interfor’s head office in Metrotower III in Burnaby, BC.
Interfor is a major player in the North American lumber industry which made the use of wood as the primary material for the office fit-out an appropriate choice.The architect wanted to have a screen next to the stairs to act as a separator between the stairs and the adjacent corridors.
It made sense to use the screen as structural members and cantilever the stair out from the screen posts.
