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.

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.
