Exterior Rail Detail at OMW

Minimal Railing Detail

Here's a nice detail from a site visit at Original Music Workshop yesterday. This is the service-entry ramp rail, made from solid 1/4" plates of steel.  It's certainly a case of the fabrication living up to the design intention.

Construction at Original Music Workshop is moving along swiftly. These photos show the interior performance hall and a few structural details. Notably, the springs footings for columns and beams have been put into place. These footings isolate the structure of the performance hall from vibration to reduce the amount of noise that can enter or escape the room.
