Partridge collaborated with Tilt Industrial Design in engineering this large curved glass feature that functions as a floor-to-ceiling framed glass wall when closed. Its ingenuity lies in its operability, as the windows can slide down to waist height, transforming into a stunning glass balustrade. Weighing two tonnes each and measuring 25 metres in length and 2.5 metres in height, these façade elements showcase both functionality and aesthetics.

The sculptural floating stair is an example of excellence in steel design, engineering, and construction while dealing with the constraints of an existing building and the demands of a live fit-out project. The main design feature of the project involved the design and documentation
of a self-supporting, helical structural steel stair spanning the height of two equivalent storeys
and then separated into two independent flights at the upper transition. The stair was wrapped in lathed timber battens, finished with marble treads. Partridge were honoured to receive the ACSE Award for Excellence in Structural Engineering – Unusual Projects.

Partridge were engaged in the development of an automated boat stacking system designed for a campground in Tulsa, USA. This innovative system enables the storage and lifting of various boat types to an elevated position. The structure features vertical steel columns securely bolted to the building frame, along with mechanized cantilever arms that move vertically to lift the boats. Our team conducted thorough analysis and certification of the steel framing for the stacker, ensuring its structural integrity and safety. We additionally designed the attachment of the stacker to the existing concrete columns of the base building, ensuring a seamless integration of the system.
