Staircase in 4 storey house
Staircase in 4 storey house
The first few private images of just the staircase within this project - there will be a whole profile to follow when we've properly photographed the whole house.
This has been a project that has taken 10 years to come to fruition!
It is the most fabulous house for a client who has had the greatest fortitude and foresight! He's finished it to the highest standard taking forward our design concept from the start with magnanimity and guts - it's paid off.
Probably the largest and best new house within 50m of York Minster in over 300 years, the house is centred around a quiet courtyard set deep within the historic core of York. Surrounded by listed and notable buildings no one would suspect that this peaceful house has some five bedrooms and spacious living space, garaging, terraces and a wonderful glazed roof top studio with views across the roof tops of central York.
The staircase is the backbone to the house, it rises in delicate sculptural turns from the ground floor right through uninterrupted to the roof level. A thin white spine of steel carries open solid oak treads between each floor level. The stair is open against the walls & through the central well, uncluttered by having no wall mounted balustrade, the hand grip is merely the top edge of thick structural plate glass cantilevered off the spine held by split bars of burnished stainless steel with nodes that are drilled through the glass.
The glass balustrade sets off the half landings that are clear & acid etched glass slabs for walking across between the oak risers.
Pin prick wall lights recessed at ankle level scatter light across and through the labyrinth of steel, glass and wood, mixing with the daylight tumbling from high windows and roof lights - if anything can be described as an architectural jewel - this can!
