Design Inspiration

Stairs have been used in books, movies, and TV shows as a stage for important events. In architecture, the role of a stair structure to provide a transitional space.

Over the years, staircases have taken on a number of design trends to fit the overall style of the space they are built in. From grand staircases that demand attention to conventional designs that are made for their functionality and whose presence you’ll only truly appreciate when you’re using them. The options for these structures are almost limitless. From narrow stair treads and risers in a modern urban home, or an external stair case with cantilevered wooden details — well designed stairs add instant sophistication and utility to a space.
