A retrofitted balustrade mesh system designed and installed to ensure compliance for an apartment stairwell in Prahran.

Apartment Stair Balustrade, Prahran VIC

Bespoke Wire & Rope worked with Combined Steel Solutions, ICON, and Jackson Clements Burrows Architects to design, manufacture, install, and certify a custom balustrade mesh system for a new apartment project on Bangs Street, Prahran. The retrofit required tailored fixing solutions to integrate with the near-complete building while ensuring compliance with Australian standards.

Location: Bangs St, Prahran VIC

Completion Date: April 2024

Client: Homes Victoria

Builder: ICON

Architect: Jackson Clements Burrows Architects

Our Scope

Bespoke were engaged to deliver a compliant balustrade mesh system for the apartment stairwell. As the building was already largely complete, our team developed multiple custom attachment details to suit different conditions across the stairwell:

  • Ceiling line, which included navigating a false ceiling

  • Stair stringers

  • Landings

  • Concrete slabs

Each fixing condition required its own detail, balancing structural constraints with compliance and design outcomes.

The final product is a transparent, subtle system that maintains the architectural vision while delivering the required strength and compliance. Bespoke also provided certification through a Regulation 126 from Partridge Engineers, ensuring the installation met all standards.

The balustrade system was installed to:

  • Ensure compliance with balustrade regulations and safety standards

  • Integrate seamlessly into an existing near-complete structure

  • Deliver tailored fixing details across varied conditions

  • Provide a transparent and subtle architectural outcome

This project highlights Bespoke’s capability to deliver retrofit balustrade solutions that balance safety, compliance, and architectural detail.
