Barkers of Kensington
Behind the architecture.
Space for essential services.
Riser floors sit behind the spaces people see. They connect access, service layouts and the surrounding structure.
In a building with multiple levels and complex service routes, the riser floor is part of the access strategy behind the occupied spaces. At Barkers, the architectural vision and recognition for Vital’s site team show two different sides of the project.
For a riser package, the useful starting point is the opening itself: its dimensions, services, supports and intended access. Explore our guides for the information needed to develop that design.
