Cantilever Stairs_St Lukes Mews, Notting Hill

Completed: January 2013

Designed to seamlessly link the living room and newly excavated basement kitchen this cantilevered wooden staircase effectiveness is in its simplicity and elegance.

To overcome the transition has no wall the stairs extends into a freestanding cranked steel stinger, hard wood treads, complimented with an internal glass balustrade.

With The absence of any side fixings it is an effective way to give the whole staircase the impression of floating within its environment.

The structural stringer is concealed within the wall for treads made from folded steel trays fully clad with American white oak so as to appear as if a solid piece,
Along with the glass clamped to edge of treads its transparency blends into the wood
and its surroundings
