The project
Designed for its setting, use and architecture.
The structure, treads and balustrade have to be designed as one assembly. We study circulation, headroom, landings, supports and the visual weight of the stair before resolving its fabrication.
A staircase may be deliberately sculptural or almost disappear into the architecture. Steel sections, timber or stone treads, glass and handrails are coordinated to achieve the right balance.
What we resolve
The decisions that define the finished work.
Made to the building
Geometry responds to the available space, levels, walls and supporting construction.
Material dialogue
Steel can be paired with timber, stone, glass, stainless steel or forged details.
Controlled installation
Access, lifting, temporary support and final site connections are anticipated in the design.

Applications
For private, professional and public projects.
Design and installation are adapted to the building, its users and the site conditions recorded during the survey.
Villa interiors
External garden stairs
Duplex apartments
Hotels, offices and public buildings
Our involvement
From site survey to final handover.
Site information feeds into the fabrication drawings, then stays with the workshop and installation team.
Survey and circulation study
We record levels, openings, supports, headroom and site access.
Design development
The stair geometry, structure, treads, balustrade and interfaces are coordinated.
Fabrication
Components are made in the workshop and prepared in transportable, installable sections.
Site assembly
Our team installs the stair, completes connections and carries out final alignment.
Frequently asked questions
Useful points before an initial assessment.
Can you combine a steel structure with timber treads?+
Yes. Timber, stone and glass are frequently combined with steel, with their junctions planned as part of the overall design.
Do you make external staircases?+
Yes. Drainage, slip resistance, corrosion protection and the supporting ground or building are addressed for exterior work.
Can you work in an occupied home?+
Yes, subject to access and site conditions. The installation sequence is planned to limit disruption and protect existing finishes.
