Each step is crafted from one piece of marble, where the whole result will look like if the staircase was all carved in one piece. Very detailed work involving new technology with a very old concept of execution.

Faltwerk, Penthouse in Dresden

Dresden, die alte Königsresidenz und heutige sächsische Landeshauptstadt, befindet sich bis zum heutigen Tag im stetigen architektonischen Wandel. Seit 2017 ragt der „Wohnsolitär“ in den Himmel empor. Wir fühlten uns sehr geehrt, als wir vom Bauunternehmen FIRA den Auftrag erhalten haben, ein Penthouse dieses aufregenden Baus mit einer Faltwerktreppe samt Glasbrüstung ausstatten zu dürfen. Geprägt durch den allseits beliebten Bauhausstil, beeindruckt diese Treppenkonstruktion durch ihren Minimalismus. Die klare geometrische Form und gerade Linien der Faltwerktreppe fügen sich ideal in das Gesamtbild des Wohnsolitärs ein, der durch seine kubistisch ausgeformte Fassade besticht. Wir blicken mit aufrichtigem Dank auf dieses großartige Projekt zurück.

Floating Staircase Design Ideas with Marble 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.
