These types of staircases are designed and made specifically for particular buildings. They can be based on staircase designs provided by the contractor or on the person’s own ideas of a unique staircase they are having built. Before bespoke staircases can be installed the plans must be drawn to precise specifications. The different styles are based a variety of things such as: • Site-specific architectural concerns • Desired materials • Limits of the person’s imagination • What has been built before In the end, bespoke staircases are usually a functional means of getting from one floor to the next floor. They are a type of staircase that is built by contractors world-wide. When designing the plans the contractor has to take into account the architectural space of the building where it is going to be built. It depends on the intended aesthetic and space as to what design of bespoke staircases will work. Some of the different styles of bespoke staircases include: • One that takes up a minimum amount of the floor space by coiling around a pole • One that is a long straight staircase that as it rises emphasizes distance • One is a half-turn staircase that after reaching a landing it makes a simple one hundred eighty degree turn • Circular bespoke staircases that climb around the walls of circular rooms • A V-shaped staircase that arrive at a single point • A grand staircase that could split into two staircases before reaching the opposite sides of the mezzanine One unique design of bespoke staircases is based on a helical pattern. People who have walked up or down this design state that they are almost unaware of any changes in elevation. Bespoke staircases can be made of many different types of materials such as: • Metal • Glass • Wood • Concrete • Marble • Plastics There are some conventional designs that use handcrafted woods that include spindles, newels, and decorative balusters. There are also contemporary custom bespoke staircases that could be very minimalistic and have an industrial aesthetic without any classical decorative elements. Bespoke staircases can have open areas beneath them or they can be walled in. In some cases the basic architectural elements are minimized or modified to create a certain effect. One effect could be making risers out of glass so that just the treads are visible. Using this effect makes the bespoke stairs appear to float in the air. If this effect is built with no handrails or guardrail they can appear like stepping stones that rise to the next story. As you can see bespoke stairways can give your space a unique effect that depends on the design and space you have to build this staircase. And if are someone planning to have unique staircases for your home you might want to consider spiral stair cases too!
