Black U-shaped Staircase Design Ideas
Stalburg DesignA staircase is so much more than circulation. It provides a space to create dramatic interior architecture, a place for design to carve into, where a staircase can either embrace or stand as its own design piece. In this custom stair and railing design, completed in January 2020, we wanted a grand statement for the two-story foyer. With walls wrapped in a modern wainscoting, the staircase is a sleek combination of black metal balusters and honey stained millwork. Open stair treads of white oak were custom stained to match the engineered wide plank floors. Each riser painted white, to offset and highlight the ascent to a U-shaped loft and hallway above. The black interior doors and white painted walls enhance the subtle color of the wood, and the oversized black metal chandelier lends a classic and modern feel.
The staircase is created with several “zones”: from the second story, a panoramic view is offered from the second story loft and surrounding hallway. The full height of the home is revealed and the detail of our black metal pendant can be admired in close view. At the main level, our staircase lands facing the dining room entrance, and is flanked by wall sconces set within the wainscoting. It is a formal landing spot with views to the front entrance as well as the backyard patio and pool. And in the lower level, the open stair system creates continuity and elegance as the staircase ends at the custom home bar and wine storage. The view back up from the bottom reveals a comprehensive open system to delight its family, both young and old!

Oasys Property SolutionsOPS initially identified the potential to develop in the garden of an existing 1930s house (which OPS subsequently refurbished and remodelled). A scoping study was undertaken to consider the financial viability of various schemes, determining the build costs and end values in addition to demand for such accommodation in the area.
OPS worked closely with the appointed architect throughout, and planning permission was granted for a pair of semi-detached houses. The existing pattern of semi-detached properties is thus continued, albeit following the curvature of the road. The design draws on features from neighbouring properties covering range of eras, from Victorian/Edwardian villas to 1930s semi-detached houses. The materials used have been carefully considered and include square Bath stone bay windows. The properties are timber framed above piled foundations and are highly energy efficient, exceeding current building regulations. In addition to insulation within the timber frame, an additional insulation board is fixed to the external face which in turn receives the self-coloured render coat.
OPS maintained a prominent role within the project team during the build. OPS were solely responsible for the design and specification of the kitchens which feature handleless doors/drawers and Corian worksurfaces, and provided continued input into the landscape design, bathrooms and specification of floor coverings.
Latitud 10 Arquitectura S.A.Great stairway design with floating appearance. Steps in natural wood, railways in inox metal. The whole space is like being in a glass box because of its huge windows on two of its sides. Underneath space for garden with recessed lights that point to enhance the design.

Studio D - Danielle WallingerPrincipal Designer Danielle Wallinger reinterpreted the design
of this former project to reflect the evolving tastes of today’s
clientele. Accenting the rich textures with clean modern
pieces the design transforms the aesthetic direction and
modern appeal of this award winning downtown loft.
When originally completed this loft graced the cover of a
leading shelter magazine and was the ASID residential/loft
design winner, but was now in need of a reinterpreted design
to reflect the new directions in interiors. Through the careful
selection of modern pieces and addition of a more vibrant
color palette the design was able to transform the aesthetic
of the entire space.
