Fine Iron were commissioned to realise the vision the clients had for this luxuriant circular staircase balustrade. This uniquely designed balustrade is continuous over 2 floors and was finished in a dark bronze patina and capped with a bronzed patinated frogs back handrail. The 'K' design featured in the decorative balustrade panels has been mirrored in the glass panels of the interior doors for continuity. The staircase has been capped in a hand finished Portland stone and winds around a large atrium, from which hangs a substantial feature glass chandelier.

Upon entering, what immediately differentiates this property from others you may see at Kukio are grand columns found throughout the home. Each column is intricately engraved with soft botanical patterns, a unique design feature that gives you a glimpse of Hawaii’s architectural history. The columns are said to be reminiscent of the late 1800’s historic Hawaiian architecture found in palaces occupied by Hawaii’s Royalty.

Large Limestone Staircase Design Ideas

A staircase isn’t just a structural element that links two floors – it can also help define your style, make a statement, and turn your entryway into a grand entrance. There are a growing range of materials and staircase designs to cater to your personal style and the size of your space. Here are some quick tips to consider while browsing images of staircase designs on Houzz.

What type of staircase works best for me?

The first consideration when planning a stair design is space. A double-sided staircase, for instance, will only work in a large area; whereas an L-shaped staircase or straight staircase are more compact options. The next step in the stair design is deciding on a style. Elliptical or curved stairs offer elegance, while spiral stairs can appear more urban. If you want a contemporary design, floating stairs are a great way to circulate light.

What balustrade and handrail options are available?

Balustrades and handrails are important for safety but also allow you to get creative with your stair design. Many staircases are built up against a wall – if that’s the case, the wall itself can act as a balustrade; it will just need an attached handrail. Glass balustrades are great if you want to show off your staircase as an architectural feature, whereas a timber balustrade tends to be a more timeless option. Metal balustrades are versatile in that they can be industrial, elegant or quirky. Consider functionality, too, especially if you have kids. An open railing, for instance could become a safety hazard.

What type of material should I use for stair treads?

Timber stair treads are strong and timeless, but aren’t suited to those with indoor pets as they’ll show up scuffs. Carpeted or stone stair treads are more traditional options, whereas stainless steel and glass can be quite contemporary. Concrete stair treads are increasingly popular for those looking to create a sculptural masterpiece out of their staircase – just imagine the effect of floating concrete stairs, daringly cantilevered. Also consider using a combination of materials to create visual interest.
