Elegant simplistic stair complements a fully converted terrace house with a brief to create a light frame stairs with an open look.

This feature staircase is a scissor type cantilever structure with open risers and solid oak steps
The stairs is set within a double height fully glaze atrium extension to rear face of the building and offer a generous array of luminosity to this open plan space

Stairs is fabricated in mild steel powder coated. Glass balustrade to stairs and landing is free floating secured within a pocket system.

Two feature glass staircases set within a double height glaze atrium of a newly built modern development
The glass staircase floating across the atrium provides transparency, luminosity
and lightness to this open space.

With a light steel frame the stairs consist of two offset cut stringers acting as a support frame structure for UV bonded glass treads and risers fixed to the frame in a continuous run.
Its transparency is maintained with toughened glass panels side mounted that form the balustrade /with the handrail wall mounted.

This cantilever glass helical stair has been developed by Diapo’s design team over many weeks before finalising this stunning architectural feature.

Through extensive testing, development and consultation with our structural engineers, we were able to put all of our knowledge and experience to dramatic effect
Each glass tread was cantilevered 1300mm and weighed over 80kgs. Amazingly this is only supported by a 80mm wide stringer and was tested to take 1 metric ton at its tip.

The entire stair coil around  a 4 meter diameter fish aquarium at 15 meter high, each tread suspended 40mm from its face. Gallery balustrade were also commissioned to complete the circular atrium surrounding the Aquarium. With sweeping glass balustrade around the two upper levels,  while the building offers  360˚ views of Gleneagles’ Queen’s Course and the countryside beyond.

This minimal yet warm staircase was constructed around a carefully designed powder coated mild steel sub frame and stringers. The strength came from the continuously folded steel plate internal structure that was then cantilevered from the wall. The stringers themselves carry no significant load and act primarily as a finishing detail to the treads.

This enabled the staircase to be incredibly light visually yet remain strong and rigid. The rough sawn smoked oak then clad the frame giving a modern yet crafted feel to the elegant over all form.

The large hanging glass panels provided a sleek solution to landing as well as staircase balustrade, serving both ground and 1st floor with each pane of glass.

Two spectacular feature staircases with half turn fully cantilever landings set within a double height fully glaze atrium entrance of a newly built luxurious and contemporary 7000 sq/ft one off house

Stairs are fabricated in mild steel, finished with white coat, inlaid with stone treads and risers and rendered under soffit to create a perfect monolithic entity. Glass balustrade to stairs and landing is free floating finished with a fluid sweeping Oak handrail.

Diapo offers the space a staircase that reflects its unique grandeur and style.

 Two feature staircases set within a double height fully glaze atrium entrance of a newly built modern development in Hampstead.
The Main stairs consist of a floating zigzag stringer profile spanning a full length of 6.5 L. meters with a steel mono-coque structure fully clad in solid Oak.
Stair is finished with toughened glass balustrade of 9sq/ meter fully hanging and side supported of the face of the landing above.

This stair elegantly provides slenderness and a sculptural element to the center core of the house.
