Custom Rooftop Deck Addition & Exterior Spiral Staircase, Terra Studios
Terra Studios, a renowned non-profit art park and gallery set in the Ozark hills, needed to expand their outdoor venue capacity by transforming an underutilized roof footprint into an elevated viewing deck. The project required a heavy-duty structural framework capable of supporting large gatherings while complementing the property's unique artistic architecture and scenic mountain views.
Challenge: Erecting a heavy-duty structural framework over a paved patio level while integrating custom metalwork and hoisting a heavy-gauge steel spiral staircase in a tight, elevated outdoor space with zero disturbance to existing gallery tile and art installations.
Solution: Engineered and erected robust steel support posts and timber joist framing to extend the second-story roof platform over the main lower patio. Transported and hoisted a custom-fabricated metal spiral staircase into place using specialized rigging. Installed modern black metal guardrails around the rooftop perimeter for full safety compliance and integrated flush under-deck ceiling lighting.
