Trail step stairs in the study leading to attic loft space that overlooks the hallway. The Hallway entrance ceiling was raked and a large Velux skylight was added to provide a grand high ceiling and natural light. White american oak wide floorboards were used throughout

This elegant bespoke staircase in Cameron House is a fine example of the creativity of the Kevala Stairs team. It enhances the glamorous interior of this imposing new development in Ascot. The original walnut staircase, a standard L-shape, with square newel posts and spindles, did not reflect the airiness of the spacious entrance hall. Given a free hand by the client, the design team created a flowing staircase, complementing solid walnut with elements of white, to create a light and graceful structure which enhances rather than dominates the space. The staircase’s entry grand double bull nose is elegantly flared, and spans an impressive 1.9 meters. A true helical arch with a multi-radius inner curve was incorporated to give the staircase a gracious fluidity. The solid walnut winding treads were combined with white risers, and white baserail and strings. Structural integrity and support are provided by 50 mm mortised strings. Kevala’s designers are concerned to ensure that every element, down to the last detail, provides a harmonious whole. Here this is visible in the horizontal scroll in walnut looping around the entry newel post, and the petite domed walnut caps on the white newel posts which provide a perfect finish. Approximately eight meters of matching curved galleries were installed. Full templates were supplied to the developer to enable the formation of precise curved structural openings on the first floor. This ensured that when the curved gallery was delivered, it could be installed and fitted with absolute accuracy. A secondary staircase leading from first floor to the attic area was also fitted, and design elements used for the main helical staircase were repeated, creating integral unity.

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.

Design ideas for a contemporary kitchen in Hampshire.

2B Wellington Road is a private residence in Ballsbridge, Dublin. We were enlisted on this project to transform a former commercial optical surgery into a luxury private residence. The challenge was to transform this 300sqm sterile clinic into a cosy residence for two people. The building originally consisted of a number of small examination rooms, surgery rooms and narrow hallways. Our design intent was to create an open plan living space that would optimise natural light and create large and comfortable living spaces. The inclusion of a garden space was necessary as the client is an avid gardener. A 300sqm building with the client use as the central focus we decided on two bedrooms, one for the client and a guest bedroom as luxury was the primary goal of this property. The original building was connected to an exisiting coach house via a conservatory. Removing this facilitated a small city garden suitable for the clients needs. The original structure included 3 floors separately enclosed. By removing multiple sections of the original floors we created a dialogue between ground, first and second floor, linking the entire house as one and creating a series of double and triple height, light filled spaces. This connects the attic art studio down to the ground floor as one large volume of space. In this vast space, this links the floors so that the clients never feel far from each other. Removing a section at the rear of the house created a triple height living space for the kitchen / dining area and this allows both the ground and first floor to be flooded with natural light due to the inclusion of a 5.7 x 6m curtain wall window, externally clad in charcoal zinc oxide to contrast with the traditional red brick of the building exterior. We opened up the entire ground floor only enclosing the guest bedroom, bathroom and utility room. The removal of a floor in the master bedroom created a double height space that feels both spacious and luxurious. The first floor includes the living and sleeping space for the client. The master bedroom and ensuite on the first floor is entered via the walk in wardrobe. This walk in wardrobe acts as a decompression space for the client before rest in the bedroom or relaxation in the spa like bathroom. The second floor includes the art studio, attic space and a third bathroom. The addition of a dormer (also clad in charcoal zinc oxide) to the attic space makes for optimum natural light with full headroom for the art studio. Underfloor heating, hyper insulation and a central humidity system (to assist with the clients dry eye condition) were built into the shell and core. The integration of a heat / air exchange system makes this a more sustainable and comfortable build. Washing and repointing of the exterior brick completed the architectural renovation for this project. This project was Winner of Best Residential Interior Project and FitOut Designer of the Year in 2021.

an all new attic bedroom staircase. using the same tread design as the main staircase, but supported on a bespoke steel frame. for extra light & architectural interest. the original staircase was enclosed by a stud wall. we sacrificed some storage space, under the stairs but gained so much more in other ways
