El proyecto consiste en una edificación comercial de 640 mts2 para ser la nueva sede de la Revista Etiqueta. El terreno se encuentra dentro del casco histórico de un pueblo colonial, razón por la cual se debía desarrollar la fachada siguiendo las indicaciones del departamento de patrimonio histórico. La propuesta consiste en una edificación entre medianeras con una sola fachada libre para ventilación, iluminación y acceso. Se plantean dos patios para que la luz natural llegue a todas las instancias. En ellos se ubican a su vez los sistemas de circulación vertical, Escaleras y Ascensores. Como respuesta a las ordenanzas se propone para el frente del edificio un volumen de altura y media con techos a dos aguas, que alberga un restaurante y el acceso a las oficinas de la revista. El edificio de oficinas se ubica a continuación del restaurante y tiene tres niveles de altura. En la cubierta se plantea una terraza utilizada para eventos.

Staircase Design Ideas with Open Risers and Brick Walls

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.
