Don't try this at home! Custom "wine cork" rail ending for the grand stairway, created especially for Switch Studios. Meets building code, and still has flair!

The walls are curved, and Gadget created curved steel doors (on the left of center), and the curved skeleton for this transparent "half-round room" (to the right of center).

These are individual aluminum pieces that have been bent into aluminum "planks", which are incredibly strong. These are upstairs in Switch Studios, inside and out. They create a "sunlight dappling" effect, allowing light to reach the first floor.
