Project Story

This staircase combines steel structure with wood treads and a glass guard. The design keeps the stair open within the interior while allowing the materials and connections to remain visible.

Breuder handled design, fabrication, and installation. Dark steel stringers frame the wood treads; the glass guard continues along the stair and landing without adding an opaque edge.

The finished views show the stair from an angle, straight on, and at the landing. They make the relationship between stringers, open risers, treads, and guarding visible at each point.
