This tiny house is a remodel project on a house with two bedrooms, plus a sleeping loft, as photographed. It was originally built in the 1970's, converted to serve as an Air BnB in a resort community. It is in-the-works to remodel again, this time coming up to current building codes including a conventional switchback stair and full bath on each floor. Upon completion it will become a plan for sale on the website Down Home Plans.

This 3 level elegant and ultra-modern well-designed staircase features dark wooden treads, no risers, a horizontal railing system, and plenty of space beneath the stairs. The gaps/spaces (code compliant) between the wooden treads let the maximum amount of light shine from the top floor windows, and the ½” stainless steel horizontal rods amplify the look of the space under the landings.

Space constraints and the homeowners' desire for a sleek, sturdy staircase drove the design of this highly custom solution. Instead of a traditional landing at the corner, the first two steps are winders that navigate the turn while meeting code requirements and conserving space. The open-riser design maintains visual lightness, while horizontal metal balusters, thick oak treads, white painted double stringers, and a modern oak handrail complete the clean, contemporary aesthetic. The result is a staircase that proves spatial challenges can inspire elegant solutions. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

This project the customer wanted to remove the old white balusters and install our 9/16” inch pc18/2 and 9/16” inch pc18/2 in Old World Copper color. While measuring for her baluster replacement we noticed that there was a section of handrail missing in a critical section at the bottom of the stairs. So along with the baluster replacement we installed a wall style handrail to match the existing handrail and tie it into the bottom newel post and the top newel post. And as you can see it looks like it has been installed there since the house was built. And of course this not only makes these stairs Building Code compliant but most importantly makes it safer for the homeowner to use.

This interior vertical picket railing was installed to replace a wooden railing with pickets or balusters spaced too far apart, violating safety codes. Concerned for the safety of their young grandchildren, the owner opted for this upgrade. They also sought a more contemporary aesthetic to match the modern look of metal railing. This style, known as Breadloaf Picket in Urban Bronze powder coat, is just one of our many custom color options available.
