Sawtooth-edge bespoke staircase, West Norwood

We were commissioned to produce technical design and to construct a unique and striking staircase for a loft conversion in a 1930s property. Working with the client and architects, full technical drawings of the staircase were produced, reviewed and signed off ensuring the details and design integrity were upheld. 

This staircase is fabricated in beautiful solid beech, revolving around 40mm and 10mm detailing. Construction in the ‘sawtooth style’, where the edge of the tread and riser can be seen. The shadow gap provides a break in the flat plains of timber into the treads before rising up on the elegant square spindles to the handrail of the same 40mm x 40mm dimension. This gap also perfectly compliments the desk unit that was made and installed in the upstairs office.

“Tom made a bespoke beech staircase and desk for our home loft office. Tom worked with us and our architect to create the ideal look while keeping the project on budget. We were incredibly impressed by the quality of craftsmanship and Tom’s professionalism. Tom hit every deadline and installed both stairs and desk without any issues. I could not recommend Tom more highly.”
