Monumental Curved Stairs and Glass Deck Rail
Project ID: #1493
How A Monumental Curved Staircase Completed This Beautiful Deck
This customer’s home had a beautiful tumbled brick facade. The brick deck was accented by luxurious, curved arches that supported a lofty covered deck. A monumental curved staircase soon emerged as the perfect accent to connect the upper and lower living spaces. Originally, the home builder planned to erect a set of traditional wooden stairs. However, it became clear that the stairs would restrict the layout. Additionally, the wooden stairs would be cumbersome in contrast to the flowing lines of the house. However, few builders knew craftsmen who did such work with a practiced and professional hand.

Local Craftsman Furnish the Monumental Curved Stairs and Glass Deck Rail
In the end, the owners brought the problem to Great Lakes Metal Fabrication. Together, a solution to the space layout and aesthetic issues: a set of monumental curved stairs. After some design iteration, the stairs began to emerge. They would curve from the side of the deck towards the patio in front. Placed well away from the windows, they would allow views and light to pass through while retaining the compact size necessary. The captivating lines of the curved monumental stairs intensified the architectural design rather than muting it. Likewise, they chose beautiful glass railings that maximized the lines of sight. To fully connect the spaces above and below, lines of sight had to be visually continuous.
