Ackworth House Stairs Design Gallery

The modern marvels of architecture have helped staircases transcend practicality and functionality in order to include breath-taking stair designs that can make your stairs the focal point of your residential or commercial space.

Ackworth House has been designing, manufacturing, and installing staircases in New Zealand for more than 40 years. We have a vast array of staircase design ideas that can be customised to blend or to stand out in your existing architectural blueprint. Aside from our conventional designs, our Ascendo floating stairs series has seven styles you can choose from.

Here is a gallery of some of the staircases we have built over the years.

Commercial establishments have more stringent safety regulations for stairs. To help you adhere to these regulations, we can install stainless steel strips set at 2mm above the stair tread.

Timber

Timber is a versatile building material that can look simple yet sophisticated. Staircases made of timber or those that have wooden accents bring an air of elegance to any space.

Conventional

We at Ackworth House believe that sometimes, nothing beats a classic. Aside from our range of floating stairs, we also create conventional stairs that are designed to be perfectly attuned to your current architecture.

Designing the Right Staircase

Stairs have been used in books, movies, and TV shows as a stage for important events. The use of this structure in this way is attributed to its role as a transition element in architecture. Its purpose of connecting two separate spaces together has made it an important feature in most spaces.

Over the years, staircases have taken on a number of designs to fit the overall architecture of the space they are built in. From grand staircases that demand your attention to conventional ones that are made for their functionality and whose presence you’ll only truly appreciate when you are using them, the options for these structures are almost limitless.

Timelessness over Trends

Often when a house or any building is designed using the latest trends, they will look dated and out of place in the near future. To achieve a timeless look, you should keep three design aspects in mind when drafting your blueprint — these are simplicity, durability, and adaptability. These three basic design elements will guide you creating a building that is timeless.

Staircase Design Staples to Consider

A staircase, when designed accordingly, can become the focal point of any space. It is just a matter of designing your staircase with the three elements stated earlier. Keeping simplicity, durability, and adaptability in mind also allows you to incorporate trends without them overpowering the whole structure.

Observing the buildings around you and their staircases helps illustrate which designs are timeless and which ones are outdated. Looking at staircase images online or in architectural magazines can assist you in discerning which styling decisions work.
