This contemporary home features two striking staircases with integrated LED lighting, glass railing, and thick wood treads. The color-changing LEDs shift from red to blue to yellow, transforming the staircases into dynamic focal points throughout the day. Wood treads and handrails are paired with frameless glass balustrades secured by black pins. Open risers amplify the LED lighting effect while maximizing transparency. The first-level staircase uses cantilevered and field-supported construction, while the second rises on dual metal stringers. Glass railing continues on the second-floor balcony, creating a cohesive system where light and glass elevate the design beyond the purely functional. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

This minimalist staircase embodies the open floor plan aesthetic of modern design. The thick maple treads echo the warm wood tones found throughout the home's floors and ceilings, while striking a contrast against crisp white walls. The open risers amplify the sense of airiness, allowing light and sightlines to flow freely through the space. Matching hardwood handrails and hand-forged steel supports complete the composition. Every detail is intentional, every element essential. 1976-2025 © Century Stair Company
