Case Study
ITT Chroma Staircase
3form Architecture developed a
custom 3" gauge specifically for
this project using an innovative
lamination technique.
The challenge was to create a
floating custom staircase using
translucent, light-transmitting
material in a 5' unsupported span.
The 3form Architecture team
created a 3D model for the
design and fabrication of
custom hardware connections.
They engineered the hardware
for minimal usage allowing

for horizontal applications,

Chroma with exposed edges.
The ethereal staircase is a
dramatic focal point of the large
corporate lobby.
