Cottage Living
Sleek and Modern Within Rustic Comfort
Out with the Old, in with the New
The original green wooden staircase had served as a functional solution for years but lacked the elegance the space deserved. To revitalize the cottage stairwell, Babin Ironworks designed and installed a sleek 6-flight switchback mono-stringer staircase. The result was a modern transformation that perfectly complements the rustic charm of the cottage.
Featuring clear glass panels and black steel handrails, the staircase now brings transparency, openness, and sophistication to the space. This striking design combines strength with minimalist aesthetics, making it a cherished centerpiece of the cottage.
Turning Vision into Reality: A Remote Collaboration
With the client overseas during the project, Babin Ironworks relied on tools like telephone consultations, Zoom meetings, and email to bring their vision to life. Site visits and meticulous measurements ensured that every detail was executed perfectly.
Through this collaborative process, the final design was tailored to match the client's preferences and the unique character of the cottage, creating a staircase that feels both intentional and inspiring.
A Bold Statement in Mono-Stringer Design
The single steel spine of the staircase running up the length of all six switchback flights, truly showcases the clean and simple elegance of a mono-stringer design. This modern approach maximizes the openness of the stairwell while ensuring structural integrity.
Glass railings add transparency and allow natural light to flow freely, while black steel handrails provide subtle contrast and highlight the design's sleek lines. The result is a perfect blend of rustic comfort and contemporary sophistication.
From Construction Relic to Architectural Centerpiece
Replacing the old wooden staircase with a custom steel staircase has transformed the cottage stairwell into a feature that draws admiration. The new design enhances the overall aesthetic and functionality of the space, proving the versatility of steel in staircase design.
