Spiral Staircase Bath

Our client for this project was a property developer based in Somerset, building three new townhouses.

They needed a spiral staircase at the rear of each home to connect the balcony to the garden below, offering a space-efficient solution that also served as a sculptural feature.

Each staircase was a simple galvanised spiral design with non-slip perforated steel treads, a steel handrail, and spindles, all fully galvanised to withstand the elements. Since the platform was part of the building’s structure, we created a flange at the top of the spiral to bolt directly to the balcony, rather than using a separate top platform.

The balconies featured frameless glass balustrades on two sides, giving them an open and transparent look.
