A shot up the stairs of the lights that are built in to each step

A solid walnut curved stair transformed this home during renovations. The open rise treads coupled with curved glass railings offer a stylish modern look. This stair features a stainless steel post system with stunning curved glass bent locally in our glass shop. Solid walnut treads show rich character through diverse wood grain. Curved glass held by stainless steel glass clamps makes a beautiful statement. Photography by Jason Ness

The stairway wellhead is a standard circle, in this case we usually make a spiral staircase, then there will be a pole in the middle, but the curved staircase design looks better, graceful arc, from the top down, the center looks like a pearl. How do you like it?

Product details This staircase brings an element of femininity to an industrial space. She is strong and bold, yet warm and elegant. The choice of stringer colour means she affiliates with the solid strength of the concrete floor, yet warmly invites you from one floor to the next on her timber treads. How we achieved this look: - Steel centre spine staircase with the tread carriers from 10mm thick plate that were rebated into underside of timber treads. - Top mounting plate was 10mm steel plate, concealed behind timber face of the void. - Carefully selected 60mm thick blackbutt laminated treads that were cut with an angled detail to accommodate the stringer. - Treads were sanded and Bona-antislip treatment was applied. - Custom 12mm toughed clear safety glass balustrading was templated and drafted for a perfect fit. - Balustrading was face mounted using 316 stainless steel standoffs. - Continuous handrail fabricated from 50 x 10mm 316 stainless steel and secured using bolt through style brackets. - All joins to be fully welded and polished. - All stainless steel polished to a satin finish. - Stringer Powder coated in Duratec Silver Pearl Satin Quotation provided on a per project basis. As all of our staircases are custom made, prices will vary depending on details and finishes chosen.

Lower level lighting really shows off the lights that are built in to each step

The Atherton House is a family compound for a professional couple in the tech industry, and their two teenage children. After living in Singapore, then Hong Kong, and building homes there, they looked forward to continuing their search for a new place to start a life and set down roots. The site is located on Atherton Avenue on a flat, 1 acre lot. The neighboring lots are of a similar size, and are filled with mature planting and gardens. The brief on this site was to create a house that would comfortably accommodate the busy lives of each of the family members, as well as provide opportunities for wonder and awe. Views on the site are internal. Our goal was to create an indoor- outdoor home that embraced the benign California climate. The building was conceived as a classic “H” plan with two wings attached by a double height entertaining space. The “H” shape allows for alcoves of the yard to be embraced by the mass of the building, creating different types of exterior space. The two wings of the home provide some sense of enclosure and privacy along the side property lines. The south wing contains three bedroom suites at the second level, as well as laundry. At the first level there is a guest suite facing east, powder room and a Library facing west. The north wing is entirely given over to the Primary suite at the top level, including the main bedroom, dressing and bathroom. The bedroom opens out to a roof terrace to the west, overlooking a pool and courtyard below. At the ground floor, the north wing contains the family room, kitchen and dining room. The family room and dining room each have pocketing sliding glass doors that dissolve the boundary between inside and outside. Connecting the wings is a double high living space meant to be comfortable, delightful and awe-inspiring. A custom fabricated two story circular stair of steel and glass connects the upper level to the main level, and down to the basement “lounge” below. An acrylic and steel bridge begins near one end of the stair landing and flies 40 feet to the children’s bedroom wing. People going about their day moving through the stair and bridge become both observed and observer. The front (EAST) wall is the all important receiving place for guests and family alike. There the interplay between yin and yang, weathering steel and the mature olive tree, empower the entrance. Most other materials are white and pure. The mechanical systems are efficiently combined hydronic heating and cooling, with no forced air required.
