Contemporary, Integrated Staircase

To design a stair could be more challenging than designing an entire house. One has to be careful to follow the building code that has strict provisions over stair design.

BUILD Studio architects focused their attention on creating a perfect staircase for this residence from Queen Anne, Seattle. This geometrically complex stair was made of steel and maple treads, and it is considered the central point of the home. It seems to float above the walnut cabinet base, and offers a harmonious backdrop to the living area.
