Spiral Staircase Sheffield

Our spiral staircase Sheffield project was supplied to a private customer carrying out a unique project to create a single property out of two flats – one above the other.

Brief

The client had was converting two separate flats into a single property and needed an access solution that would be compact enough to not take up too much floor space in two relatively compact properties, but large enough to allow safe and comfortable passage between the two floors. The properties were in a historic building; however, the client wanted to blend the old with the new and desired a traditional staircase with a modern twist. As well as limiting the physical footprint of the staircase, the client also wanted to minimise the aesthetic of the staircase without causing it to disappear.

The Solution

A traditional spiral staircase was not going to be enough to create the type of feature that the client wanted but we also had to work within a relatively tight budget. Our solution was to propose a black lacquered version of our Model 71 spiral staircase. We used beech as the substructure and the black lacquered finish gave the customer the modern appearance he desired. For the balustrade, we used curved acrylic panels. The combination of the black lacquered structure and curved panels allowed us to meet the brief of creating a modern structure that allowed the passage of light without dominating the space.

Aside from the aesthetics, the staircase gave the client a safe and predictable way to move from one floor to the next, really opening up the potential of their new home.

Project Recap

• Create a modern but compact staircase solution that avoided dominating the space.
• Allow the passage of light by using clear curved acrylic balustrade panels instead of spindles.
• Create a staircase that connected one property to another that was safe and reliable to use without dominating floor space.
• Deliver the brief within a tight budget.

Summary

The final staircase filled the clients brief exactly. The staircase suited the space perfectly and provided the practical access solution required for the property.
