Spiral Staircase Fareham

We were approached by the architect and client who we constructing a new property on the banks of the estuary in Fareham.

The house featured a modern, block-like design with a utilitarian, industrial style.

Apart from a small footpath to the front or arriving by boat, the only access was from an elevated road at the rear, level with the second story. The client needed a double-flight spiral staircase to link this road to both levels of the house.

While fairly standard in concept, this project was unique because the staircase would be set within a concrete shaft. Constructed from industrial galvanised steel, it would be topped with a glass enclosure offering uninterrupted views of the sea.

Brief

• A Double flight industrial looking spiral staircase
• Category B building regulations compliance
• Entry and exit points to work with the concreate walls

The Solution

• We supplied a fully galvanised spiral with steel grating treads
• Diameter was 1800mm to achieve a 800mm clear tread width
• Spiral was custom made so the goings we made to suit to entry and exit points at each level

An amazing look created by using effectively a galvanised fire escape in a new modern dwelling.
