Modern Staircase Design Ideas with Metal Railing

Our bespoke staircase was designed meticulously with the joiner and steelwork fabricator. The wrapping Beech Treads and risers and expressed with a shadow gap above the simple plaster finish. The steel balustrade continues to the first floor and is under constant tension from the steel yachting wire. Darry Snow Photography

Our Ida Way project was an external staircase outside of Auckland that we supplied the steel for while the builder supplied the timber as well as fitted and installed the treads. One of the most important aspects to build these floating stairs was that there needed to be good communication between us at Stairworks and the builders in order to ensure we delivered a high end result while working together. In order to achieve this, everything had to be based on the shop drawings, which is just one example as to why it is so important to have accurate shop drawings with an experienced designer such as ours. The owner wanted a floating staircase for his deck to keep his property nice and open and preserve the view. The challenge with this style as an outdoor feature, is you also have to account for water. You not only have to think about water flow and have holes to allow water to flow in and out of, but you also have to consider the impact of water on the steel over time. To account for this, we galvenised the staircase and put a three pot epoxy on top of that to ensure the longevity of the paint system.

Proyecto de transformación integral de un ático en Barcelona. Antes de la reforma, la distribución de esta vivienda junto con su mobiliario, no aprovechaban las ventajas de tener una vivienda con terraza en el ático del edificio. Es por eso que el proyecto de reforma de este apartamento se centró en destacar el punto central de la vivienda, la escalera, para reestructurar el espacio y sacar todo su potencial. La escalera-mueble que diseñamos para este proyecto articula el apartamento generando un espacio de día único para el salón y cocina, amplio y luminoso, y a su vez distribuye las otras estancias a su alrededor proporcionando, además espacio de almacenamiento extra. La escalera que conduce a la terraza del ático se diseña con una nueva estructura metálica en la que cuelgan los peldaños, permitiendo que el apartamento se beneficie de la luz cenital que entra desde el propio hueco de la escalera y lucernario.

Ce projet d'escalier suspendu allie esthétisme et fonctionnalité. Composé de marches en bois laqué noir, l'escalier présente une ligne épurée et moderne, sublimée par une main courante triangulaire en métal. Sous les marches, un meuble sur mesure avec tiroirs offre un rangement discret et pratique, optimisant l’espace. Ce design minimaliste et contemporain s’intègre parfaitement dans les intérieurs modernes, alliant élégance et utilité.
