PROJECT: The Landmark Building, Boston, Massachusetts
ARCHITECT: Jung|Brannen Associates, Inc.
GENERAL CONTRACTOR: McCarthy Construction
TYPE OF APPLICATION: Protection of Vertical Opening

Project description
In order to preserve the spiral staircase and maintain a visual link between all four floors in this landmark building, architects Jung/Brannen found a way to provide fire separation without enclosing the staircase.

Won-Door FireGuard™ folding fire doors placed in the wall were completely hidden when not in use, yet provided the fire rating required to keep this feature open to full view.
