Christ Church, Ware
This graceful spiral staircase perfectly suited the refurbishment.
The Church was looking to provide facilities that met the present and future ministry needs of the community and undertook a refurbishment and expansion project to accommodate this. Enhancing the worship space and usable areas within the building.
They required a spiral stair to give access to the newly built mezzanine floor that would be able to seat 30 people.
The clever combination of glass and timber has led to a beautiful spiral staircase design that works perfectly within the carefully updated features of the Church.
We really enjoyed working on this project and hope that the community of Ware love the spiral staircase as much as we do.

Spiral staircase
The highlight of this spiral staircase design was the elegant glass balustrade which included two glass guard panels extending to the ground on treads seven to eleven.
This combined with the pine cladding to the treads and matching elliptical shaped pine handrail with sanded finish created a graceful, understated stair that really suited the tranquil surroundings of the space.
