The main internal feature of the house, the design of the floating staircase involved extensive days working together with a structural engineer to refine so that each solid timber stair tread sat perfectly in between long vertical timber battens without the need for stair stringers. This unique staircase was intended to give a feeling of lightness to complement the floating facade and continuous flow of internal spaces. The warm timber of the staircase continues throughout the refined, minimalist interiors, with extensive use for flooring, kitchen cabinetry and ceiling, combined with luxurious marble in the bathrooms and wrapping the high-ceilinged main bedroom in plywood panels with 10mm express joints.

Laminated glass is a safety glass that uses one or more layers of PVB film (polyvinyl butyral) or SGP between two or more pieces of glass. It is made under a special process and is combined into a whole through high temperature and high pressure within a certain period of time. Longlass Laminated Glass Advantages: 1. We have high class dust-free constant temperature and humidity laminating production line. 2. We are the approved processor by SentryGlass 3. Our products meet the requirements of BS EN12600:2002 Class 1 (C) 1 ,and ANSI Z97.1-2015 Class A ,type 4. An impact perfbimance test for materials in accordance with BS EN12600:2002 has been performed on the four given samples. The performance classification of the all test samples is Classification 1 (C) 1. Performance Test Sample:5mm tempered glass + 1.14 PVB + 5mm tempered glass Impact Test: In accordance with Clause 5.1 of ANSI Z97.1-2015 Type 4 Thermal Test: In accordance with Clause 5.3 of ANSI Z97.1-2015 The distinguish between PVB & SGP: 1.The shear modulus of SGP is 50 times of that of PVB. 2.The Tear strength of SGP is 5 times of that of PVB. 3.The bearing capacity of SGP is 2 times of that of PVB. 4. The bending of SGP is only 1/4 of that of PVB. In a word, SGP has better performance than PVB, and it's widely applied in glass path, glass ceiling, glass floor, Stair Treads,etc. Longlass Laminated Glass Features Energy saving When sunlight directly shines on a piece of colorless laminated glass, the PVB interlayer film can absorb most of the heat and only radiate a part of the heat back indoors, making the indoor and outdoor heat difficult to conduct, reducing heat energy consumption, thereby maintaining indoor temperature and saving air conditioning Energy consumption. Security it can withstand the penetration of accidental impact. Once the glass is damaged, its fragments will still stick together with the intermediate film, which can avoid personal or property damage caused by the glass falling, and the whole piece of glass remains intact and can continue to withstand impact, wind and rain Sound insulation The interlayer film has the function of blocking sound waves, so that the laminated glass can effectively control the transmission of sound and play a good sound insulation effect. Noise reduction In the process of sound wave transmission, the glass on both sides of the film is reflected back and forth, and is attenuated and absorbed by the soft film. Generally, the noise can be reduced by 30-40 dB. The thicker the film, the better the noise reduction effect. Decorative effect The laminated glass can be sandwiched with various patterns, which can achieve the decorative effect, and there are also decorative effects such as ice glass. UV resistance The interlayer film has the function of filtering ultraviolet rays; the special PVB film can make laminated glass weaken the transmission of sunlight, effectively block ultraviolet rays, reduce the fading of indoor fabrics. The color PVB interlayer film has different light transmittance, and can control the ultraviolet and heat gain as needed. It will not block the penetration of visible light .

Open riser modern stairs against painted brick feature wall with in-built lit balustrade in renovation project

Scala realizzata sul posto , in ferro e vetro, congiunge il piano terra al piano notte

Raw, industrial elements nurture the linear form of Lum Road’s staircase. Victorian Ash stringers are the base for an MDF stair with carpet finish, complete with a custom steel rod balustrade, and cladded feature steps.

2段に変形した土地に建つ若い夫妻のための住まいである。上の段に住まいを、下の段を駐車場にという計画のようだったが、下の段にパブリックなスペースを、上の段に常用駐車場とプライベートなスペースを配置することで上下をつなぐ階段部分に斜面の庭の眺望と書棚を設けることで変形敷地を活かすことが可能となった。

Creamos un jardín debajo de la escalera de estructura de hierro, para dar calidez, armonía y vida. Combinamos los alistonados de madera en 3 zonas de la vivienda para crear conexión entre los espacios.

Complete transformation of 1950s single storey residence to a luxury modern double storey home

These stairs were designed to flood the interior spaces with plenty of light and openness; glass panels reinforce the light and airy feel of the design, and the geometric shape of the treads and contemporary stain selected for handrails and wooden components, blend beautifully with the neutral palette chosen by owners throughout the home.

Amazing what a little paint can do! By painting the handrail black and balusters white this staircase is transformed.
