Neuhaus Design Architecture, P.C. These stairs were designed by NDA and fabricated by StairWorld in Ottawa. Their website is www.stairworld.com. I actually just discovered that they have our photo of this installation on their website!

Pangaea Interior Design, Portland, OR clangois1 -- you're welcome! I just love these open, floating style stairs. Especially love ones that are cantilevered from the wall. So cool!
W. David Seidel, AIA -- excellent point about the codes. Never ceases to amaze me how different they are from area to area. I often see these floating staircases with no railings whatsoever. I always wonder where they can get away with that. Not here anyway.

Neuhaus Design Architecture, P.C. One thing to keep in mind is the connection of the treads to the stringer. In this case, it is the use of steel that allows that connection to almost disappear giving the treads the floating sensation.
In reality there is a steel plate (with a welded connection to the central steel stringer) routed into the bottom of each tread.
As for codes, in this case local codes allowed an open riser of no more than 4" in height. The thickness of the treads served to minimize the open space.
I hope that's useful.

The treads in this photo are 4" thick. Here in NYC, open riser stairs must have the riser space be less than 4". We often choose to achieve this by utilizing big chunky treads as we love the way they look. Hope that helps!
