BBC, Beaumont House, Westminster

Client: BBC
Type of works: manufacture and supply of wheelchair access

The problem of disabled access faced at Beaumont House is replicated throughout the U.K.

Early architectural design was often based on the concept of a moat surrounding properties incorporating a basement housing kitchens and servants quarters with steps bridging up from street level to the remainder of the residence. Many of these properties have been converted into commercial use and the Sesame System offers the answer in providing wheelchair access without compromising the aesthetic design of the building.

Here you’ll notice the rising barrier option and stainless steel tracks that protect the platform surface but remain unseen when the stairs are in their rest position.
