Oak staircase with cut string on the face side and closed string on the wall side. The wall side have been cladded with wall panelling to follow the curvature of the staircase and handrail. the panelling os made out of mdf and painted. The treads are 25mm oak with american style return nosing. The handrail is omega profile 59 x 59mm in aok , continuous and finishes under a classic volute. The strings are pine and the spindles are victorian style in pine. Under the stairs we created storage space by adding a coat cupboard with two doors. this coat cupboard have a second compartment at the back for storing boxes of shoes, as it is as deep as the staircase which 1m wide, the coat cupboard only needs 600mm. We also added three very deep and large drawers for shoes and clothes, this pen fully and are very spacious and useful. The staircase is finished with a gallery at the top with continuous handrail

This image captures the heart of the vertical circulation in the home—a beautifully sculptural staircase painted in a rich, inky navy. The central balustrade and split stair direction create a rhythmic architectural moment, enhanced by soft wall panelling details and the consistent use of muted grey-blue tones on the walls. A pale wool carpet softens the space underfoot and elegantly delineates the walking path, contrasting nicely with the darker stair treads. Above, a delicate origami-inspired pendant light casts gentle shadows that draw attention to the ceiling’s height and form. The stair’s openness and the interplay of natural and ambient light elevate what could have been a purely functional corridor into a key visual anchor of the home’s design language.
