Ancora, Residential Property, near Truro

This exquisite staircase is an integral part of the design of this new residential property, which has an open, airy feel, as it is flooded with natural light.

The bespoke staircase was an integral part of the design

The oak tread cantilever straight stair reflects the feel of its surroundings and makes a striking focal point on entering this stunning family home. The bespoke staircase leads you to the open plan living area on the upper level of the building.

The staircase itself is cleverly made and perfectly exemplifies why cantilever staircases are sometimes called ‘floating stairs.’ The bottom flight to the rest level is made of treads attached to a glass stringer on either side, whilst the upper flight stringer is concealed within the wall finishes.

The solid European oak treads add a subtle hue to the very light colour palette of the interior, and the glass balustrade and balcony helps deliver the architect’s vision to diffuse natural light around the home.
