Grainhouse

Grainhouse is a former Victorian seed warehouse in Covent Garden that has been transformed into a sophisticated prime office and retail scheme, designed and built by Knight Harwood and architect Barr Gazetas for Hines UK. The centrepiece of the development is a double flight helical feature staircase. Working as supply chain partner for Alpine Group, who specialise in delivering comprehensive turnkey solutions for feature staircases, we worked closely with Alpine Group to design and coordinate the finishes and execute the delivery of the joinery to clad the two flights of the steel helical structure and the curved components that form the surrounding fire curtain panelling and oak finishes for the feature Barisol lighting. The result was a technical and aesthetic triumph for a striking and visually coherent focal point.
