How to Specify: Stairs and Railing<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIn real life, the act of designing, specifying and constructing stairs and railings is \u2026 challenging. There is a range of products that go into them from treads<\/a> to balustrades<\/a>, and, despite the many safety regulations that proscribe their design, no two stairs are exactly alike. The most complicated information you\u2019ll probably need to provide is the dimensions of the installation space and your desired components. Beyond that, think about the form, color and material you envision for the steps, handrails<\/a>, balustrades or ramps<\/a>. Do you want glass<\/a> or bronze balustrades? Or maybe some metal mesh<\/a>?\u201d Check out the full story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How to Detail a Code-Compliant Floating Staircase<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cCreating the perfect floating stair \u2014 one that appears to lightly hover above the ground and smoothly rise to unknown higher levels \u2014 is hard. There are countless considerations to make from tread length, to step depth, riser<\/a> height and handrail width. You even have to think about the difficulty of detailing such a stair. Will it have wall supports or be a sturdy mono-stringer? Will it dramatically suspend from a series of ceiling-hung cables or will it feature a standard set of stringers that ground it intensely?\u201d Check out the full story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stepping Up: 6 Spaces Transformed by Custom Railings and Stairs<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

“At the center of the Ampersand Building, an office complex for technology and software manufacturers,\u00a0is the gorgeous \u201cLiving Staircase\u201d by artist Paul Cocksedge. The stair, in stark contrast to contemporary lobby, appears like intertwined \u201cribbons\u201d of wood<\/a> and flowers. Rather than a central newel, the stair winds around circular platforms with built-in seating; small breakout spaces where employees can chat, read or make herbal teas from the flower boxes.\u00a0As Cocksedge explains<\/a>: \u201cThe Living Staircase is designed to be a staircase, a relaxation zone and a sculpture all in one. All these activities are distinctly low-tech, to provide a contrast and a counterpoint at the heart of the very high-tech environment that is Ampersand.\u201d” Check out the full story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Building Momentum: 10 Clever Examples of Color-Coded Circulation<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cColor orients and guides. When combined with elements like wayfinding or circulation, color profoundly shapes how we experience space. While color-coded circulation has been used throughout history, it\u2019s being increasingly used to highlight expressive forms or delineate multiple thresholds. Defining the boundaries of a wall or room, colored circulation draws attention by activating staircases, halls or platforms. Taking a deep dive into novel circulation techniques, we\u2019ve gathered the following collection of projects that utilize color to emphasize a particular building path or movement. As elements defining perception, each route reinterprets traditional ideas on progression and sequence. Building identity, they make a statement and reveal the diverse ways that color can transform architecture.\u201d Check out the full story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Okay to Stair: 9 Lessons in Crafting Beautiful Staircases<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cIn some projects, stairs are simply an avenue, ingress or egress. But, in others, they\u2019re sculptural, edgy, minimal or mesmerizing architectural elements capable of injecting a unique sense of character into an entire building. If you are in the latter camp when it comes to specifying stairs, consider these nine precedent studies in the art of staircase design, ranging from individual components to complete systems.\u201d Check out the full story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Get Into the Groove: 6 Stellar Recessed Handrails<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cAs unique and thoughtful pieces of design, recessed handrails are a strong cause for celebration. Rather than merely slabbing a railing onto a wall as an afterthought or safety requirement, each one of these inset details are as inherent to the building as the wall itself. While handrails like these can be hard to design and detail, these projects make up a strong set of reference points to use as a launchpad. Intentionally dug out, they invite you to slip your hand in, float down in a dreamlike state and reconsider every average staircase you have ever set foot on.\u201d Check out the full story here.<\/p>\n

How Architects and Manufacturers Can Combine to Create Perfect Stairs<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone knows that a grand entrance can make quite a statement and first impression. But in a similar way, a staircase also has the potential to pack a punch and inject character into a project. These functional \u2014 and often central \u2014 elements can become opportunities for architects to flex their creative muscle and design something sculptural, dramatic or simple-yet-handsome. To inspire you as you specify stairs for your next project, we present a few of our favorite designs to recently grace the pages of Architizer, along with product manufacturers and specialists that can help you in your quest to develop the ideal staircase.\u201d Check out the full story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Spiraling Out: Revealing the Incredible Craftsmanship Behind Custom Helix Staircases<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe coveted spiral staircase is a feat of engineering and design beyond measure. Its effortless twists and turns defy conventional climbing and conjure up mysterious upstairs worlds in the minds of those who dare to circle toward the ceiling \u2014 or next floor, rather. While they look seemingly simple in design, spiral staircases are actually very challenging to create. That\u2019s why architects looking to specify<\/a> the spiral must turn to veteran manufacturers who can produce custom-designed staircases<\/a> for different architectural typologies. One Brooklyn-based manufacturer who\u2019s been providing bespoke staircase designs from New York for 20 years is Serett Metalworks<\/b><\/a>, led by founder and owner Joshua Young. Situated inside an old warehouse in the industrial district of Gowanus, Serett employs 17 people who do everything from design to fabrication to installation. The team takes on residential, mixed-use, commercial and public projects for a client list<\/a> ranging from Calvin Klein to the Rockwell Group, Woody Allen and Hariri & Hariri Architects.\u201d Check out the full story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Atrium of Los Angeles Courthouse<\/a> by SOM<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

Architectural Details: How SOM Found the Perfect Glass Guardrail<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThe designers at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill<\/a> (SOM) had what may be a familiar problem. For their new Los Angeles Courthouse<\/a>, they had designed a minimal interior with a large atrium and an exposed stair that was light, bright and open. It was a dream. Then came reality and, with it, the problem. Building codes require guardrails, and rightfully so \u2014 all those people accidentally falling off the edge of floors would be a bummer. A federal courthouse also has to satisfy stringent safety requirements that might eliminate options that could work in, say, a small vacation home. Rather than cluttering up the interior with distracting barriers, the designers wanted to have the guardrails disappear as much as possible, ideally by just using simple panes of glass.\u201d Check out the full story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
