OUWE SJOOL SPAKENBURG - Спиральная лестница

In the village of Spakenburg, the historic Ouwe Sjool building, originally constructed in 1841 as a church and later repurposed as a school and industrial facility, has been transformed into an elegant office space.‎ Though only fragments of the original architecture remain, such as exposed brickwork and preserved roof trusses, the building’s new spatial identity is defined by restraint, clarity and a sculptural centrepiece: a bronze-toned helical staircase.‎ The helical stair ascends in a single fluid curve, its thick steel balustrades functioning as both structural and visual anchors.‎ The uniquely shaped wenge-topped treads are precisely seated in steel carriers, following the stair’s tight radius.‎ One of the key technical demands was the application of EePaint: a dual-surface bronze finish that combines a finely textured EeSoffit underside with satin-smooth outer faces.‎ This duality required exacting control to ensure seamless transitions across curved steel surfaces, without visible joints or visual disruption.‎ The contrast between the tactile EePaint finish and the rich wenge timber steps elevates the staircase from a functional element to a sculptural focal point.‎ Here, materiality and precision are not secondary to form—they are the form.‎ Further info from manufacturer on OUWE SJOOL SPAKENBURG EeStairs
