Project Overview
Boswen delivered a custom metal balustrade and handrail solution for a primary school in Northern Victoria, designed to complement the building’s playful and engaging learning environment.
The project required a bespoke balustrade design that would not only meet strict safety requirements for a school setting but also align with the modern architectural style of the building.
By combining perforated metal panels, vibrant finishes, and precision metal fabrication, Boswen created a staircase system that enhances both functionality and visual appeal.
