Zen Modern Retreat

Our client wanted a home that is a nod to her Asian heritage. That was a key starting point in the design but along with that they wanted a modern home with an open floor plan which drove some of the character of the home in terms of massing and details. Landmark Photography Landmark Photography Landmark Photography Landmark Photography Through design iterations with the client, we developed the idea that the great room space would be a two-story vaulted space that would allow a lot of natural light in, with tall, full-height windows, not small transom windows.

Former Sao Paulo residence transformed into spacious YOGA concept

In Sao Paulo, Brazil, YOGA by Superlimao sees the conversion of a 1990s residence into a meditative place for yoga classes, with additional coworking and rental rooms.  Israel Gollino Uses inserted into the existing fabric include a large yoga room for classes, a reception area on the ground floor, a studio and coworking area on the top floor, and a room for rent in an old smaller house located at the back of the site.  Israel Gollino To accommodate these uses, it was necessary to transform the house - which previously had only a few openings - into a large and well-lit space. Larger spans were thus created to allow more sunlight, filtered by jute panels, to enter.  Israel Gollino Completing the transformati... More

Translucence House

This renovation and addition unravels a chapter of ill-considered renovations to create an urban retreat for a young family on a remarkable site. By re-using more than half of the original structure and improving the home's environmental performance, the project also minimizes the 4000 SF home’s embodied carbon and ongoing carbon footprint. Joe Fletcher The double-wide lot sits atop a bluff and next to a community garden, making for a rare condition in the heart of the city: a large, secluded site, overlooking the city and the bay. The site was filled and leveled in the early 1960’s to accommodate the original house and pool, the scene of legendary parties. Renovations by a subsequent owner led to a messy collection of roo...

Wythicombe - glass staircase, glass bridge

This was a nice residential project which is featured by our all glass staircase, this time in float glass (with green shimmer), which is leading up to our glass bridges. They are supported by glass beams and therefore no steel frames or any other supportive material is required. This provides the most translucence and does not abstract the look of the wide surroundings behind the stairs. Into the basement leads a more traditional cut steel stringer staircase with a glass balustrade.  More

The translucense house

This nice feature all glass staircase was designed for an amazing residential project in San Francisco. The Translucence House, desigend by Fougeron Architecture is well thought through, from the outside and inside. Through our glass staircase you get a nice view over the city and to the sea. The staircase itself has a bronze tinted glass and most of the hardware is laminated inside the glass to provide clean uninterrupted surfaces, which look luxurious and are easy to clean. Further the staircase is leading up an all glass bridge which was also desigend and built by Siller Stairs.  More

Kistefos Museum

The Kistefos Museum is a project of BIG Architects. The architect approached Siller with the wish to create a fan shapped all glass staircase which has a span of 13m width and has on the up- and down side a contious glass surface. The task was particularly challenging because they did not want to see any shaddows of potential steel beams to support the staircase. As you can see from the final images we have been able to come with a solution which was more than pleasing for the architect.  More
