Suspended Staircase

The open staircase makes a striking addition to this renovated mid-century terraced home in London. The oak treads and the suspended steel rods elevate the everyday use of the stair into a delightful experience. 

A skylight above, allows natural light to fall onto the stair and to pass through the open stair treads, casting dramatic shadows across the wall and floor. Depending on the quality of the light on any given day, the appearance of the stair can change dramatically.

The stair treads, fabricated from layers of solid oak, appear to float - suspended by slender steel rods and anchored to a structural beam hidden within the ceiling. The result is a light and elegant structure that feels both contemporary and timeless.
