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.

Laminated glass was used insted of the preferred toughened glass because of the tight diameters required. Stainless steel handrails were insisted upon so the workmanship of these tight diameters must be admired. Our preferred handrail would have been a hand carved timber that fits over the top of the glass. This would disguise some of the discrepancies associated with radiused glass as discrepancies like this are unavoidable with such small radii. The Zebrano wood treads, glass balustrade and stainless steel create a splendid and eye catching feature in a fine property.

We must admit, we did not realise the challenges that this staircase would present, particularly with the site installation. Those challenges were overcome and are now classified as experience. That knowledge allowed Demax to design and manufacture even more challenging staircases with complete confidence.

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.

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.

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.
