STEPHEN FLETCHER ARCHITECTSThe tapered staircase is formed of laminated oak and was supplied and installed by SMET, a Belgian company. It matches the parquet flooring, and sits elegantly in the space by the sliding doors.
Structural glass balustrades help maintain just the right balance of solidity, practicality and lightness of touch and allow the proportions of the rooms and front-to-rear views to dominate.

Alair Homes New WestminsterThis modern custom home features an open concept main floor, with a modern kitchen, spacious living room, and hardwood floors throughout. The glass railing on the staircase allows light to flow through, giving it a more open and bright atmosphere.
StairworksWe were asked by a house builder to build a steel staircase as the centrepiece for their new show home in Auckland. Although they had already decided on the central mono-stringer style staircase (also known as a floating staircase), with solid oak treads and glass balustrades, when we met with them we also made some suggestions. This was in order to help nest the stairs in their desired location, which included having to change the layout to avoid clashing with the existing structure.
The stairs lead from a reception area up to a bedroom, so one of our first suggestions, was to have the glass balustrade on the side of the staircase finishing, and finish at the underside of the ground-floor ceiling, and then building an independent balustrade in the bedroom. The intention behind this was to give some separation between the living and sleeping areas, whilst maximising the full width of the opening for the stairs. Additionally, this also helps hide the staircase from inside the bedroom, as you don’t see the balustrade coming up from the floor below.
We also recommended the glass on the first floor was face fixed directly to the boundary beam, and the fixings covered with a painted fascia panel. This was in order to avoid using a large floor fixed glazing channel or reduce the opening width with stand-off pin fixings.
Make ArchitectureThe centralized stairway incorporates a floating plane of painted white gypsum board and wrapping wood treads. LED lighting is integrated to the stair riser, washing each tread with light. Glass guardrails with white steel posts compliment the exposed wood treads.
Ackworth HouseThis industrial style staircase with a chunky steel stringer on one side and attached to the wall with steel brackets was designed to complement this modern yet rustic home.
The open risers give this stair that floating feel, allowing the light from upstairs to filter though to the hallway below.
The American Oak treads give a warm contrast against the polished concrete floor.
South Coast Building DesignBy employing timber in-steps to these concrete steps, the functional steps are transformed into a feature.
PETE NICK DESIGNOpen tread Oak staircase with 100mm solid Oak treads and 10mm toughened glass balustrading with LED lighting inset under each tread.
Century Stair CompanyA glass balustrade was selected for the straight flight to allow light to flow freely into the living area and to create an uncluttered space (defined by the clean lines of the grooved top hand rail and wide bottom stringer). The invisible barrier works beautifully with the 2" squared-off oak treads, matching oak risers and strong-routed poplar stringers; it definitively improves the modern feel of the home.
