This was one of four custom spiral staircases provided to a construction firm renovating an old building in Cardiff. The building, rich in commercial trade history, was being transformed into multiple apartments. It was an exclusive development with every detail finished to a high standard.
Each staircase featured acrylic treads, curved acrylic infill panels, and a brushed stainless steel handrail and central column. The light, transparent balustrade design allowed daylight to flow in from the windows overlooking the Millennium Stadium.
A fantastic location—an Arsenal football player even viewed the penthouse the day before these photos were taken.
The Brief
The construction firm wanted –
A striking wow factor spiral staircase
A light framed solution with minimum footprint
Clear treads and balustrade to allow light to flow through the living space
Maintaining openness with open risers and minimal structure
A custom made solution with a high class finish
The Solution
After several meetings, our model 76 was decided upon.
A custom made model made specifically for their height and rotation requirements
Transparent acrylic treads and balustrade panels allowed the light to flow
Brushed stainless handrail and column diffused the light
The spiral stair created a feature and local point of the room
