Cantilever Stairs Stacked Wood Block Effect_Jonathan Clark Architects_Seymour Walk

Completed: September 2014

This cantilevered wooden staircase’s effectiveness is in its simplicity and elegance.

All treads are manufactured in Imbuya which is a tropical wood completed with a fine spindle balustrade in black and bronze finish.

The stair consists of a structural steel spine concealed within the core of the stairs.

The wood treads are fabricated in modules to encapsulate a steel core and give the appearance of a solid piece of wood and as to appear as if it was a stacked chucky block effect.

Due to the character of the wood, all boards were carefully book batched  by our joiners to best manufacture each treads while maintaining consistency and  a clear contrast in pattern and color to each board.
