Remodelling of a luxury flat at the heart of Kensington for a wine collector. Photographer Rory Gardiner

This U-shaped, floating staircase was a renovation that was designed as an entryway masterpiece. Our Stairworks in-house designer worked closely with the homeowner to get the desired result, which the owners were very happy with. The interior style of the home was modern contemporary, so the single stringer stairs were the only steel features in the home, making them a true focal point. The benefit of using steel in open risers with a glass balustrade is the fact that it lets so much light through, a great benefit to any home capitalising on natural light. However, when using glass there can be design challenges, which is why we used oak tread caps to cover the glass fixings for a smarter finish.

New Oak and White closed string staircase. The first section has white closed risers with tread lighting to create that floating effect but enabling our client to have storage behind it. The top section is open riser with glass sub-risers to allow the natural light to flood through to the hall way from the large window on the half landing.
