Modern Staircase Projects
Demax design an extensive range of modern staircases in contemporary styles as shown below. This range is indicative of the projects undertaken but is not exhaustive. If you require something very modern, please contact us.
The South Lodge Style Project
This crisp elegant style is very popular here at Demax Designs, with numerous customer enquiries referring to the style each day.
The Neville Avenue Style Project
This modern staircase is a subtle slant on our very popular "South Lodge" style. The omission of stainless steel fixings for the glass gives a feeling of weightlessness.
The Highfield House Project
This modern staircase takes pride of place as the centrepiece of an ultra contemporary house in Prestbury. With Premiership footballers as the target market, the design of this stairs had to be "on trend".
The Furze Hill Project
A stunning eliptical staircase which has off centre radii to create a graceful flared entrance. The stairs have been designed to be totally free standing, structurally proven and effortlessly beautiful.
The Stetchworth Project
This modern staircase forms the main feature of the reception area within a full refurbishment project. It's simplicity and clean lines betray the involved engineering required to achieve such a statement.
The Mornington House Project
These computer generated images are of one of Demax international projects for a Dublin based client. Gumuchdjian Architects approached us to prove the technical and structural implications of the staircase and first floor walkway.
The Marlena Project
A local company, Struik and Hamerslag who specialise in fitting out the worlds most extravagent super yachts asked us to build this beautiful staircase for a project in Marbella. It was required that the stair was designed so that the treads appeared to be simply slotted into the spine with no visible connections.
The Elms Crescent Project
The simple and elegant lines of this residential staircase were greatly enhanced by the imaginative concealed lighting. The staircase served the basement, ground and first floor with a flowing style in a relatively confined area.
The Blackheath Project
A thoroughly modern and relatively inexpensive staircase. The brushed stainless steel strings support the hardwood tread from which the glass balustrade is supported.
The Lodge Project
Variations on this design could include, a stainless steel spine, stone treads and more traditional balustrade arrangement. That said the configurations are endless allowing this staircase to be extremely versatile.
The Foxmead Project
Following the current contemporary vogue, the client had in mind sweeping lines and minimalist, understated impact. The resulting feature staircase sweeps gracefully from ground floor to landing and the precise lines are continued to dramatic effect on first floor balustrade.
The Collards Project
Demax was commissioned to assist with the development and design of a staircase to be incorporated into the conversation of a world war two USAF HQ building into a modern family home which was basically a massive square concrete block with 18inch solid concrete walls and floors at staggered levels. The whole project theme was " A modern open and light family home, it was refreshing that the parents consulted their two young daughters who I must say contributed very mature ideas on both design and colour. Design options were slightly hindered by the massive reinforced concrete floors and walls of this bomb proof building, moving existing doors and windows was unpractical.
The Sheringham Project
An modern interior conversion to a Town House allowed our designers to create a complimentary staircase. Combining open risers with kited treads requires vision and experience if both the elegance and structural integrity is to be retained, unfortunately this significant problem is not always recognized by many home designers.
The Kitchens Project
In this modern design of a cantilever stair the string was laser cut 20mm solid steel, on to which the tread supporting brackets were fixed. These were kept as obscure as possible by rebating the tread base. The 20mm string was then secured to the wall and the 45mm thick white ash treads added. The floor to ceiling 16mm toughened glass paneling was supported from structural roof steel and clamped to the ground floor. This minimalist and non-intrusive feature stair creates a very pleasing overall effect.
The Burgh Castle Project
Given the clients brief remit and general material preferences of stainless steel, glass and white oak, we developed this staircase which has proven to be very popular in varying combinations and specifications.
The Plantation Project
Our investment in our illustrative and informative web site has certainly paid dividends on a worldwide basis. This project was for a prestigious development in St Lucia in the West Indies.
The Cranmer Project
An example of a staircase where the complexity and expense is under estimated by its simplistic appearance. The client requested a staircase using a blend of three radii with strings 80mm thick and no visible evidence of what supported the 60mm thick Oak treads.
The Warriner Project
This refreshing style of stairs is ideally suited to the modern home or office. The canter levered glass balustrade is held captive in mild steel strings which are cloaked with highly polished Stainless steel, the wall string is finished with a hard wood trim and feature lighting (by others).
The Mackintosh Canteen Project
We were pleased to be invited to construct this modern attractive staircase for the Wildebeest chain of restaurants for the Mackintosh Canteen establishment, in the new Chapelfield Mall in Norwich.
The Dennis Lane Project
This is the staircase that caused home designers major problems. It seems that the space required is often totally underestimated resulting in a very steep staircase and restricted space in the area of the main entrance.
The Refurb Project
A refurbishment project that involved the removal of a dated traditional timber staircase and replacement with a modern oak and low iron glass focal point.
The Clough Project
A new build timber framed property with a mixed feeling of rustic, modern and traditional. Demax were set the task to design a staircase that suited all three styles.
The Loom Lane Project
On paper, this project appeared to be a relatively straight forward staircase. The difficulties and lack of tolerance enforced by a polygon were discovered one site visit too late.
The Gaudis Project
A challenging, sweeping, feature staircase within an incredible listed building dating back some 350 years. Space and access into a property of this age was extremely restricted and with strict protection due to the historic nature of the building there was no option to enlarge or remove!
The Boydells Farm Project
Another modern feature staircase based upon the design concept of our original "South Lodge" style staircase. White oak cladding to every visible face hides the steel carcass beneath. This steel carcass give the staircase great strength
The Hall Barn Project
Demax were contacted directly by the client to supply two feature staircases in this contemporary new build property in Peldon, Essex. The project was at an advanced stage when Demax were appointed and a completion date was critical. The entire process was complete in six weeks, from quotation to installation!
The Mount Pleasant Barn Project
Designing a feature staircase within existing confines is always a challenge. This property was particularly restricted in terms of available space for a staircase.
The Queensmead Project
An interesting feature staircase rising from ground to third floor. A relatively open brief was given to Demax, to provide a clean, modern staircase. This design cleverly conceals the restricted space in which it is located. Starting with a curved staircase and leading up to two angular staircases, it was essential that the two different shapes blended fluently.
The Pitch Place Farm Project
A modern staircase within a 400 year old property. The design is intentionally a stark contracst to many of the other materials and styles within the period, heriatage, farm house.
The Park Walk Project
A stunning modern staircase within a high specification Chelsea property. Satin polished stainless steel forms the carcass.
The Morton House Project
This staircase is a perfect example of our design capabilities. Our initial site visits and consultations directly with the Architect and Client outlined a nautical theme and their specification for this staircase.
The Willow Cottage Project
Although this staircase appears simple it remains effective. This project consists of two staircases, one positioned over the top of another. The interesting part is that the openings were different sizes and misaligned, and the staircases were to conceal this fact and to appear aligned.
The La Chenaie Project
A staircase solution idyllic for a fashionable business or modern living space. This project combines chunky dark traditional treads (solid oak) with a contemporary slim stringing style (stainless steel), creating a hybrid of two styles. Although normally these two materials would be utilised in different projects, here they come together in harmony and generate a great feature staircase.
The Saltings Project
The photographs should adequately demonstrate the thought and skill employed to enable this project to be sucessfull.
The 120 122 Richmond Hill Project
This Project consists of two U-Shaped staircases. The design has been mirrored, one in each neighbouring property. The two staircases are created using lime washed white oak and hot coated bronze with an applied patina finish; simulating antiquity.
The Ormonde Place Project
Maximum creativity and design skills were required for this staircase simply because of the limited space available in this London town house.
