LITTLE C ROTTERDAM - Кантилеверная лестница

Little Coolhaven, also known as Little C, is one of the trendiest work-live districts in Rotterdam, and the interiors here often have an industrial chic design style.‎ So we weren’t surprised when we saw Tank Interior Design’s proposal for a staircase in one of the appartments.‎ There are only two visible materials – big blocks of reclaimed, sanded oak for the treads and lower landing, and steel wire hangers for the outside ends of the treads.‎ And the treads had different thicknesses and widths – a highly unusual configuration which demanded complete precision in the positions of the hangers and the inner tread supports.‎ To increase the visual drama, it was crucial to conceal the structural elements to make it look like the treads were almost floating in the air.‎ We achieved this by putting a steel cassette in the wall, hidden by plaster, that held one end of the treads; and the wires holding the other ends were hung from a concealed rail in the ceiling.‎ EeStairs also supplied and fitted the invisibly fixed glass balcony balustrade, and a large bronze-finish steel internal window.‎ Further info from manufacturer on LITTLE C ROTTERDAM EeStairs
