Our brief for this new monolithic staircase was to look more like a piece of art than a staircase. The staircase sits in a Grade 2 listed building and complements the period interior beautifully! The once old makeshift staircase which accessed the former servant’s quarters of the property was transformed to give them access to the loft space which they had totally renovated. After sitting down with the Donohoe’s and looking through mood boards, we came up with this design and colour wash. The substrate of the staircase was made from solid oak with our new arctic white wash finish, giving it a clean, fresh Scandinavian look. We of course had to decorate with house plants and touches of bronze. What do you think? Photo credit: Matt Cant

Inside, a beautiful wrought-iron Victorian staircase connects each floor. The stairwell that sits central to the home reminds us that the property is far from ordinary; painted every colour imaginable with vibrant artworks and a Central line tube map print acknowledging its location. http://www.domusnova.com/properties/buy/2060/4-bedroom-flat-westminster-bayswater-hyde-park-gardens-w2-london-for-sale/"> http://www.domusnova.com/properties/buy/2060/4-bedroom-flat-westminster-bayswater-hyde-park-gardens-w2-london-for-sale/

This recycled timber staircase frames 2 levels of this house. It separates the spaces yet keeps them open to ensure the light and airy feel is maintained. Photography by Sue Murray - imagineit.net.au
