Rather than try to replicate the original staircase the shift in style creates intrigue as you travel upwards and invites you to continue your journey. The continuous balustrades draw the eyes up and natural light filters down from above creates the perfect juxtaposition between old and new

Thomas AlexanderThomas Alexander
This backland development is currently under construction and comprises five 3 bedroom courtyard houses, four two bedroom flats and a commercial unit fronting Heath Road. Previously a garage site, the project had an unsuccessful planning history before Thomas Alexander crafted the approved scheme and was considered an un-developable site by the vendor. The proposal of courtyard houses with adaptive roof forms minimised the massing at sensitive areas of the backland site and created a predominantly inward facing housetype to minimise overlooking and create light, bright and tranquil living spaces. The concept seeks to celebrate the prior industrial use of the site. Formal brickwork creates a strong relationship with the streetscape and a standing seam cladding suggests a more industrial finish to pay homage to the prior raw materiality of the backland site. The relationship between these two materials is ever changing throughout the scheme. At the streetscape, tall and slender brick piers ofer a strong stance and appear to be controlling and holding back a metal clad form which peers between the brickwork. They are graceful in nature and appear to effortlessly restrain the metal form. Phase two of the project is due to be completed in the first quarter of 2020 and will deliver 4 flats and a commercial unit to the frontage at Heath Road.

Staircase Design Ideas

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.
