The Brief

This project involved supplying four straight-flight Model 500 staircases for a new-build residential development on the Edinburgh coast. Each semi-detached home required two staircases that complemented the open-plan interiors and delivered a modern, light, and airy feel.

The brief was to provide a clean, contemporary staircase design that maximised space and natural light, while fitting seamlessly into the layouts of the semi-detached homes and creating a strong architectural feature within each property.

The Solution

We designed and installed four bespoke straight-flight Model 500 staircases, with two per semi-detached home, using a steel spine for structural integrity and open timber treads to maintain a sense of space.

Frameless glass balustrades were installed along each stair flight, enhancing the flow of light through the interiors and creating a minimalist, modern look. The combination of powder-coated steel, oak treads, and clear glass provided a durable yet visually striking design, perfectly suited to the clean, contemporary aesthetic of the development.

The staircases were carefully engineered to ensure consistency across all homes, while fitting precisely within the layouts, creating an elegant and functional solution for each property.

Project of the Month - April 2026 – Open Oak Stair Project of the Month - April 2026 – Open Oak Staircase in Kingsbridge new build.In the picturesque market town of Kingsbridge, our client was building a new home. Having enjoyed many holidays in the South Hams area of Devon, he was eager to retire there and quickly purchased a plot of land when the opportunity arose.We first received the property plans by email, along with a brief to design an open, light staircase for the main hallway. While he wasn’t fond of anything overly modern, he wanted a statement feature for the new double-height space. As the house was to be oak-framed, using oak for the staircase was a natural choice, complementing the flooring. The selected design was the WF staircase, known for its open risers and floating look. This distinctive style features no stringer on one side, instead using a specially crafted handrail to support the treads.The staircase was supplied in a half-turn configuration with cut white stringers on the outer side. Stainless steel spindles led up to a curved handrail on the inner side, adding an elegant elliptical twist to the flight.The client also requested a second staircase leading to a mezzanine deck elsewhere in the home, built in the same style and materials for a cohesive finish.

Walnut Spiral Stair in Chiswick RefurbishmentOur client lived in a duplex apartment in Chiswick, with a basement below that was a separate dwelling rented out to someone else. When the basement came up for sale, he bought it with plans to connect it to his home and create a three-story property, likely returning it to its original layout.He originally contacted us about the stairwell size needed for a spiral staircase, as space was tight and a spiral seemed the best option. While the opening width was ideal, the depth was limited, so we designed an 1800mm diameter spiral with a shortened triangular platform, shifting the center column away from the rear wall.The platform also served as a walkway between two rooms, and using a glass floor helped bring much-needed natural light into the windowless basement.For the finish, he chose special boxed walnut treads over steel with brushed steel balustrades for a modern yet understated look. The result was a stylish connection to the basement that brightened and enhanced the living space.

February 2026 - Oak Spiral Stair in Canterbury new February 2026 - Oak Spiral Stair in Canterbury new buildThis month’s project of the month is a Model 71 spiral staircase supplied to a new build property in Canterbury, Kent.The customer had already built one property on the site and was embarking on the second build project. He had a nice open hallway planned but wanted to create a unique feature as you entered the property. It was very important that the staircase was modern in design but also reflected the more traditional style of the building.After reviewing the options available, he settled on our Model 71 with satin lacquered oak treads, brushed stainless steel components, and curved glass balustrade infill panels clamped between posts. The stainless steel and glass gave a modern feel to the staircase, whilst the oak treads and handrail reflected the traditional style of the property.As this was the main staircase in the property, and the client had plenty of space, he opted for a larger than required diameter. Not only did this create a dramatic focal point when entering the hallway, it also made the stair very safe and practical for everyday use.For a seamless installation, we supplied matching landing balustrade to go across the front of the galleried landing.
