Key Spaces
Living Space:
The staircase anchors the open-plan living area, rising from dark herringbone floors to a bright mezzanine. Its slimline balustrades echo the vertical rhythm of the windows, creating visual harmony without obstructing light or flow. The monochrome palette enhances the architectural drama while remaining understated.
Mezzanine Landing:
The upper landing, defined by the curve of the staircase and enclosed by custom steel railings, provides a visual continuation of the structure and acts as a quiet observational platform overlooking the lower floor. The black steel detail contrasts subtly with the soft tones of the interior, offering balance.
Workshop / Fabrication:
Before installation, every component was precisely measured, cut, and assembled in our metalwork facility. The process showcases Porfan’s ability to deliver fully custom, high-precision steel structures—even for challenging interior geometries.
Details
Color Palette:
The staircase features a matte black powder-coated finish, contrasting beautifully with oak treads and a light-filled white interior. This timeless palette adds depth without dominating the space.
Materials and Craftsmanship:
Fabricated from high-grade structural steel, the staircase includes curved stringers, laser-cut step plates, and custom-built railings. The precision of the welds and smooth curves reflect our workshop’s dedication to durability and aesthetic refinement.
Engineering & Installation:
Installation required structural coordination and logistical planning. The staircase was hoisted externally through a second-floor window using winches, then seamlessly anchored on-site. This process minimized disruption and preserved the architectural integrity of the building.
