The main internal feature of the house, the design of the floating staircase involved extensive days working together with a structural engineer to refine so that each solid timber stair tread sat perfectly in between long vertical timber battens without the need for stair stringers. This unique staircase was intended to give a feeling of lightness to complement the floating facade and continuous flow of internal spaces. The warm timber of the staircase continues throughout the refined, minimalist interiors, with extensive use for flooring, kitchen cabinetry and ceiling, combined with luxurious marble in the bathrooms and wrapping the high-ceilinged main bedroom in plywood panels with 10mm express joints.

This staircase was designed by the owner for his home, which made it a very special and personal project. The balustrade was laser cut all on one sheet with slots that extends from the bottom of the stairs to the top. This design was created to make sure light was let through from the skylight above into the living room.

A true sculptural masterpiece. St Vincent Place is the result of advanced craftsmanship and an intricate contemporary design. A curved profile features geometric strings and an open rise. American Oak treads and a sweeping continuous handrail strike an elegant balance between the rich timbers and steel balusters.
