Listed and heritage buildings

Older and heritage buildings often pose unique challenges when improving accessibility. Strict preservation regulations, architectural constraints, and aesthetic considerations must all be carefully balanced.

Stepless specializes in providing customized solutions tailored to each location’s specific needs, ensuring compliance with local building regulations while maintaining the integrity and historical significance of the site.

Our goal is to create accessibility solutions that are both functional and visually harmonious, seamlessly blending into their surroundings without compromising the building’s character.

Stepless has successfully supplied accessibility solutions to a wide range of prestigious listed and heritage buildings, including:

The Eiffel Tower, Paris, France
Dramaten Theatre, Stockholm, Sweden
The Cathedral of Notre-Dame (both before and after the fire in 2019), Paris, France
The French Senate building – the Palais du Luxembourg, Paris, France
Christiansborg Palace, Copenhagen, Denmark

And many more. Could your listed building be next?
