We have just manufactured and installed this minimal oak and glass staircase in a newly-built house in Purbeck.
Architect Iain Freeman commissioned the staircase from Kirolite for his new home on the edge of the historic village of Briantspuddle. Although the roof is thatched as an acknowledgement to a long tradition of that style in the village, the new house is a modern interpretation, a theme which is carried through to the interiors, including the staircase.
The staircase is a seemingly simple cut string solution. Finished in solid and veneered oak it is constructed on a steel armature with a glass balcony and balustrades, stainless steel tread inserts for extra grip and round section solid oak handrails. It stands independent of the walls and at night when it is backlit it appears free-standing in front of the two storey hall window. By day the hall is flooded with light and allows an almost uninterrupted view of the rural landscape. More pictures
