About Bcompact Hybrid 측면 접이식 계단
Bcompact Hybrid는 협소한 주택과 작업 공간을 위해 설계된 측면 접이식 계단입니다. 사용하지 않을 때는 계단이 옆으로 접혀 벽면과 나란히 맞춰지거나 벽 안쪽으로 수납됩니다. 2단 접이식 핸드레일과 자동 안전 게이트가 접힘 동작과 연동되어 함께 움직입니다. 스트링거와 디딤판은 지속 가능한 방식으로 조달한 대나무 합판을 저폐기 절단 공법으로 재단하여 제작했습니다. 황동, 알루미늄, 스테인리스 스틸 부품이 긴 사용 수명을 뒷받침합니다. 각 제품은 요구되는 높이와 각도에 맞춰 제작되므로, 최소한의 시공만으로 상층부에 접근할 수 있습니다.

Specially designed 180deg. built it hinges, enabling the product to fold flat & within its own maximum thickness of 40mm.
Products utilize all non-ferrous metals, Brass, Aluminium & stainless steel to ensure a long & fully functional design life cycle. - Design Challenge
- The original concept of creating a stair/ladder that was fully functional and operational that also took up virtually no space when not in use, was the most difficult part to think up an original innovation of a device that had basically been unchanged for thousands of years.
Once achieved and evolved into final renditions, working out how the certification and standards for this never-before-seen functionality could be adapted and or changed to suit and therefore be used in commercial and industrial applications? Still an ongoing challenge that is needing solutions. - Research
- Twenty years of research and development has lead to the creation of the latest rendition of the Hybrid stair, with automatic bi-folding safety rail and automatic safety gate. The desire to achieve a compact space-saving device that serves this unique function whilst taking up virtually no space when not in use and incorporating sustainable materials and design techniques has been a labor of love and necessity.
- Inspiration
- Whilst living in NYC's high-priced & cramped conditions for many years, I realized the necessity to create products and furniture that make the most from your practical living space. Furniture that folds away or has multiple functions.
Returning to study later in life to pursue a Product Design Degree, I realized an even greater need for sustainable products, ethical design practices & material use, which lead me to devote my practice to these aspects, sustainability & clever, compact design. - Project Duration
- These initial products were launched to a worldwide market in 2019 and these latest versions and varieties are coming to market now.
Designed in Sydney Australia and manufactured in here and the USA for worldwide distribution. - Operation Flow
- With minimal infrastructure alterations, you can quickly create new usable spaces in your home or work areas. Simply accessing new locations to broaden the opportunities to make new living & workspaces. Adding value to your home for the least cost and time whilst maximizing the area when not in use. Also creating an exceptional security device, denying access to top alternate floors.
