Iconic Stairs are the UK’s market leaders in the design and manufacture of bespoke in-situ curved concrete stairs and landings. In addition to their concrete range, they specialise in engineering and installing solid stone cantilevered stairs and steel stairs. Commenting on the project Brian Conway, Managing Director, said, “It was quite fitting for Iconic Stairs to be working on an iconic building such as the Grand Opera House. We welcomed the commission by Tracey Brothers to design and create our signature, gravity-defying floating concrete staircase.”

This bespoke installation incorporated over 1 ton of steel reinforcement and around 9 cubic metres of concrete – that’s approximately 20 tons in total.
