Project • By Slattery & Acquroff Stairs • Housing
Yarra Stair
The unique Yarra stair must multi task between the most basic stair building principles, ultra-modern fixings, lavish styling and a rather bold
placement within the space. But the stair takes all these considerations in it’s stride, morphing from practical elevator to central artery in the living room and kitchen areas. It allows the stairs to join seamlessly with the bedrooms above, reaching into the second story and funnelling the light downwards.
Only modern components are used in the design, which features Victorian Ash timber treads, suitable for the polished concrete floors and stone bench tops on the bottom level. Stainless steel handrail and glass balustrade compliment the style, which is made modern with the timber centre carri... More

Project • By J. MAYER H. und Partner • Private Houses
OLS House
The new house is situated on a plot of land near Stuttgart, on a hillside with a generous view of the valley. The owners wanted a new home that would bring this view to life even inside of the building. The house is in a residential area with conventional developments, most of which date from the 1960s. The new, 4-person family home is divided into an elevated ground floor with entrance area, utility room and spa, and a second floor with an open, flowing floor plan containing the living, dining and kitchen areas. Full-height glazing provides a free view of the valley and terrace looking over the garden area. Upstairs are the sleeping areas, dressing rooms and bathrooms. The central design element is a sculptural staircase tha... More

MindStep by EeStairs®
A staircase can potentially be a building’s most attractive, landmark feature, with a variety of style and design options to meet the creative imagination of any architect or project designer. Staircase designers and architects are finding themselves issued with more ‘green-minded’ briefs – where they are required to not only create an impressive staircase, but also one that is sustainable and eco-friendly.
At EeStairs we have developed the ‘MindStep’ range which combines our enthusiasm for creating impressive stairs with an understanding for the requirement of the use of sustainable products in modern building projects. The result is a minimal stair that appears to defy gravity due to the incorporation of supporting panels beneath the... More

Project • By PSLab • Private Houses
SAIFI RESIDENCE STAIRCASE
PSLab’s aim in this space is to highlight the distinguishing features and shape of the staircase, all the while offering a distinctive experience. The staircase is located in a rectangular space with uniform wood cladding on ceiling, floors and walls. It is characterized with a perfectly circular form, with the steps starting at the bottom floor and ending at the top floor with no other connecting points. The staircase has a double volume height and spirals up, shaping its central core.
PSLab's inspiration in this project came from the staircase’s main characteristics. The aim was to create a lighting concept that would not only mirror these distinguishing features but also complement the structure. The constraints encountered came not fr... More

Project • By Neri&Hu Design and Research Office • Exhibition Centres
Design Republic's Design Collective
The new Design Republic's Design Collective is located in the outskirt of Shanghai in a town called Qingpu. Neri&Hu inherited an existing building and was given the task to completely redesign both the exterior and the interior without demolishing the existing structure. Neri&Hu’s concept was to cover the existing building to create a new exterior identity and simultaneously fabricate an introverted spatial platform to create a new identity for the Design Republic's Design Collective, a group of avant garde furniture retail initiative in the city.
The existing building has been completely covered with an opaque graphic wrapper made with carbon fiber panel to create an introverted spatial condition to showcase furniture both visually and... More
Product • By Ghenos • Magia staircase
Magia staircase
Our homes are smaller and smaller so we do not always have large areas at our disposal and there is not a great offer of spacesaver staircases that are also design oriented.
Thanks to Fontanot and to two of the eight staircases of the Magia collection, you can assemble it in a small area, without giving up on design, on comfort and mostly on safety. The staggered shaped steps, permit a wider area to lay your foot on compared to a standard shaped step.
The stairs in this collection have steel supports painted in white or iron grey, while the treads are in light or cherry shade birch plywood. The Magia30.Xtra railing is composed of painted steel balusters and parallel PVC tubes in the same colors as the balusters. The Magia30 railing,... More

Project • By Saunders Architecture • Theme Parks
Forest Stair in Stokke Sculpture Park
This sculptural installation was designed for the Sti For Øye sculpture park in Stokke, set amongst the Vestfold oak forest to the West of Oslo. Working with landscape architect Rainer Stange in order to create the infrastructure for a woodland walk past a series of artists' installations, Saunders proposed a series of steel and wooden walkways set at the highest point of the site, looking east towards a castle.

E-TB
The main structure of this staircase is a single or double beam made of special stainless steel allowing many personalized finishing (Skin Color TM).
The main feature of this model is a continuos outline band low enough to show the steps.
This kind of structure is mainly used to feature installations which require a light structure with a beautiful and slender outline.
According to the dimensions of the stairwell and the whole height of it, our technical department will dimension the thickness and the height of the structure with special regard to the weight it has to bear.
The two main structures are connected with two stainless steel tubes 'Edilco System'.
Every staircase can be finished with many finishing treatments... More
