Perforated Metal Stair Guardrails at Hacienda Heights | BŌK Modern

BŌK Modern specializes in designing and developing innovative architectural metal panel systems. The renovated Hacienda Heights Apartment Complex features BŌK Modern's customized perforated metal Stair Guardrails.

PYATOK studio led the revitalization of the Hacienda Heights Apartment complex, a landmark of North Richmond since its construction in 1966. The comprehensive intervention added 150 new residences, characterized by thoughtful design elements. One notable detail was the blend of original architecture with modern design, incorporating functional and decorative features such as perforated metal panels. BŌK Modern crafted new Stair Guardrails that pay homage to the original design, featuring a distinctive brise-soleil pattern and a golden hue. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, they provide practical benefits by offering shade and ventilation while adding warmth to the building's facade.
