Staircase Ideas and Designs

Landing Staircase, London

No.8 project involves the complete redesign of an outdated home, transforming it into an open, functional, and welcoming home for a growing family. The goal was to create a space filled with light and a blend of modern aesthetics with practical, family-friendly features, ensuring that the space is both beautiful and liveable. Space Planning & Layout Design: Reviewing the floor plan to maximise flow, usability, and natural light, ensuring every room meets the family’s needs. Colour Scheme & Materials: Curating a modern bright palette that reflects the family’s personality, with a balance of warm neutrals, bold accent colours, and textures that invite comfort. ​ Bespoke Design: Designing custom features, such as a bespoke staircase and built-in joinery underneath, to keep the space clear of clutter and maintain a seamless, clean look.

Escalera. Estas escaleras estaban en hormigón en bruto, original de la obra, y para revestirla usamos roble natural teñido para la huella y laca blanca tanto para la huella como para el rodapié. Este último no hace la tradicional forma de la escalera, sino que está en forma recta. Para decorarla hemos hecho una composición de cuadros de herencia familiar en la pared alta de la izquierda y una hornacina con una balda en roble asimétrica e iluminada con una tira led.

Under stairs cupboards - spray painted fronts and Egger carcasses. Capboards built with having in mind an easy access to a fuse board and an electric meter.

Voilà! Laura Hernández, Nacho Cordero, Jokine Crespo. Proyecto y dirección de obra. Una casa para disfrutar del paisaje, de las vistas a los campos de cereales. En un lugar azotado por el cierzo y con vistas hacia los campos y sus cambios de tonalidad según la estación. Dos grandes muros de hormigón protegen de los vientos y otorgan privacidad respecto a las parcelas vecinas al tiempo que enmarcan las vistas hacia el paisaje. Sobre ellos se posa una caja como una casa de juguete que alberga los dormitorios, con vistas hacia el paisaje por un lado y hacia los edificios emblemáticos del pueblo hacia el otro.

Die Erschliessung des Hauses erfolgt über verschiedene Niveaus, Stufen und Podeste - so werden die einzelnen Ebenen einfach und locker erreichbar. Im ganzen Haus wurden Eichenholzdielen verlegt, die sich über eine "gefaltete" Treppe bis ins Dachgeschoss ziehen. Foto: MierswaKluska

FAMILY HOME IN SURREY The architectural remodelling, fitting out and decoration of a lovely semi-detached Edwardian house in Weybridge, Surrey. We were approached by an ambitious couple who’d recently sold up and moved out of London in pursuit of a slower-paced life in Surrey. They had just bought this house and already had grand visions of transforming it into a spacious, classy family home. Architecturally, the existing house needed a complete rethink. It had lots of poky rooms with a small galley kitchen, all connected by a narrow corridor – the typical layout of a semi-detached property of its era; dated and unsuitable for modern life. MODERNIST INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE Our plan was to remove all of the internal walls – to relocate the central stairwell and to extend out at the back to create one giant open-plan living space! To maximise the impact of this on entering the house, we wanted to create an uninterrupted view from the front door, all the way to the end of the garden. Working closely with the architect, structural engineer, LPA and Building Control, we produced the technical drawings required for planning and tendering and managed both of these stages of the project. QUIRKY DESIGN FEATURES At our clients’ request, we incorporated a contemporary wall mounted wood burning stove in the dining area of the house, with external flue and dedicated log store. The staircase was an unusually simple design, with feature LED lighting, designed and built as a real labour of love (not forgetting the secret cloak room inside!) The hallway cupboards were designed with asymmetrical niches painted in different colours, backlit with LED strips as a central feature of the house. The side wall of the kitchen is broken up by three slot windows which create an architectural feel to the space.
