skyrail
Page 01A continuous guardrail that modulates view and light as one moves through the stair.
Page 02Inspired by the client’s fascination with woven pattern and depth, the design evolved through a sequence of computational and physical prototypes. Collaborating with Andrew Kudless / Matsys, we created a parametric script that enabled rapid iteration between analogue and digital studies, refining the optical rhythm until a subtle balance emerged.
Page 03The final piece was CNC-milled from solid stock, its smoothed geometry supported invisibly at points of least perforation. The result reads less as a railing than as a moving field—an object that reveals and conceals with each step.
