Helical Stairs




Today we are posting a few images of a recently installed staircase for a new eco house in Golant, Cornwall.

The client
commissioned Tandem to design, detail and build the stairs on recommendation of Pioneer Builders, a sustainable eco building company based in Cornwall.

The plinth of the stair is built from a strong softwood structure, covered with flexible plywood and painted white. Treads and risers are solid oak finished with OSMO Hardwax (Polyx) Oil.

The under-stair cupboard is also lined with painted flexible ply, the soffit has been built from strips of the same material using boat building techniques to achieve the three-dimensional curve.
