This one-of-a-kind staircase features a painted driftwood finish over curved wood. Custom shaped glass and open risers add elegance, and are complemented by custom floating wood treads to hide the supporting steel attachments within.

This was a fun build and a delightful family to work and design with. The ladder is aesthetically pleasing and functional for their space, and also much safer than the previous loft access. The custom welded steel frame and alternating step support system combined with light colored, solid alder wood treads provide an open feel for the tight space.

We went for lots of texture and foliage color in this small space. Ferns hold the composition together while the Persian Ivy, Rhododendron, Hosta and Heuchera provide color and leaf variation. This planting is partially under a deck.

Floating VG Fir beams appear to be sticking out of the concrete wall in this impressive set of stairs. The fir actually encapsulates a metal support protruding from the concrete. Blackened steel covers the risers and treads the entire length of the stair run.

This material was salvaged by Second Use in Seattle. It is 2x6 car decking used for flooring in an old foundry. We pressure washed the years of dirt and grime away, sanded for hours, stained dark walnut and applied 4 coats of finish. The finished treads were then installed on a spiral staircase. The end result is a solid looking tread with great character1

This three-story oak staircase features horizontal clear acrylic rods instead of traditional balusters. The acrylic provides impact resistance comparable to glass while maintaining unobstructed sightlines between floors. The horizontal orientation of the railing draws the eye up the stairs. 1976-2025 © Century Stair Company
