Chalet St. Moritz
Chalet St. Moritz
markiewicz GmbHmarkiewicz GmbH
Dieses logistisch und künstlerisch höchst anspruchsvolle Projekt stand unter der Überschrift „markiewicz goes alpine“. Erstmals arbeitete unser Team in den Schweizer Alpen in über 2100 Metern über dem Meeresspiegel. Die Treppe erstreckt sich über vier Geschosse und beeindruckt durch ihre Symbiose aus in sich ruhendem Naturstein und edlem, geschwungenem Eichenholz. Das künstlerische Highlight ist das geflochtene und handgeschnitzte Geländer, das den Händen, die es berührt, wunderbar schmeichelt. Gemeinsam mit unserem Projektpartner und Auftraggeber, den Deutschen Werkstätten Hellerau, dem Architekten Karsten Sippel und dem Designer Jacques Garcia, blicken wir mit Stolz auf dieses Kunstwerk in gebirgiger Höhe.

Staircase Design Ideas with Concrete Risers

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.
