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 Project
This crisp elegant staircase was designed by Demax for the client of this thoroughly modern home. We have since developed and expanded this stair concept by offering a wide range of options such as stone and tiled treads, wood and stainless handrails, non glass balustrade, even kited treads.
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 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 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 Thaxton Project
Mr and Mrs Thaxton came to us with completely open minds regarding the design of their staircase except that it should have an 'Italian feel'. The design of the balustrade on this stair appears at first glance to be extremely simple; a closer inspection shows that the use of varying metal sections and overlaps has produced an intricate and pleasing design. The string (side) of the stair is steel that has been artistically painted to give the appearance of stone to compliment the stone flooring. The clients were delighted with the final outcome and this project is a demonstration of the competence of Demax Designs as both designers and manufacturers of fine feature staircases.
The Rodenhurst Project
Demax received a request from clients to produce a design for a feature staircase in their harbour-side home in North Wales. The room had limited space in which to allow a view through the hall to the dining room and harbour view. Both the architect and client were delighted with the result, which can be seen to be a vast improvement over the original old-fashioned wooden stairs.
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 Lansdowne Project
Architects Donald Insall were required to design a balustrade for a large ultra-modern property in Cambridge. We at Demax were not initially enthusiastic about the choice of bronze casting or satin brass handrail being incorporated into such a modern environment.
The Marlena Project
The computer generated picture is of a staircase for a luxury yacht in Marbella. We were asked to build the stair so that the treads appeared to be simply slotted into the spine with no visible connections. The spine was to have no intermediate supports and was to be crafted to have the appearance of an ivory tusk. The handrails were highly polished stainless steel clad in fine woven leather.
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 Hair Salon Project
A London hairdresser wished to expand to a larger premises. Demax was approached to present designs for a staircase to reach the 3.5m high mezzanine floor without encroaching on the first floor space. The design of our stairs acted as a divide between the reception area and the working area of the salon whilst taking up the very minimum of usable floor space.
The Autumn Foods Project
The remit was 'leave it to you - we just want something legal, modern and unusual'.
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 Bar 38 Project
The complexity of this project, in terms of design and installation, is not immediately apparent, and is hidden by the simplicity of the finished appearance.
The Winchmore Showroom Project
This style of spiral staircase is available in any diameter with a large choice of balustrade designs. The stair is equally suited to both the commercial and domestic environment and may be a left or right handed spiral.
The Plantation Project
Our investment in our illustrative and informative web site has 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 Honda Showroom Project
This commercial quality spiral is available in either 2200mm or 2500mm diameter, ascending clockwise and anticlockwise. The treads are recessed to receive inserts such as timber, stone, glass or carpet and a standard non slip nosing. An extensive range of balustrading variations is available, including radiused glass.
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 Buildbase Project
This Nationwide Builder Merchants entrusted Demax to design, construct and install the staircases for each of their new branches.
The Burgh Castle Project
Given the starting point of the clients general material preferences, stainless steel, glass and white oak, our designers produced initial concept drawings. These ideas culminated in the spectacular 3d images seen on this page.
The Green Verges Project
The first four treads of this staircase are functional, they allow a very wide angle of entry to the staircase beside being an elegant well balanced feature. The use of Walnut and stainless steel offers a richness with a clean sharp modern edge.
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 Modern Project
This Spiral Staircase is available in various diameters and with a choice of solid hardwood or composite treads, stainless steel or powder coated mild steel balustrading and tubular or wood handrail. It can be supplied for self assembly or fitted by our experienced operatives.
The Barn Conversion Project
This space-saving spiral was installed at a private residence to give access to the loft area. The picture at the bottom shows the stair under construction. Most of the stairs we manufacture are fully constructed in our workshop before installation.
The Mornington House Project
These computer generated images are of one of Demax current international projects now under construction for a Dublin based client.
