Floating Staircase with Frameless Glass Railing

Austin, Texas, USA — Private 4-bedroom residential villa, 2-storey, contemporary design

The homeowners wanted the staircase to be the living room's visual anchor — not an afterthought at the back of the hall. A single powder-coated steel mono-stringer anchored into the poured concrete slab carries 14 American white oak treads, each cantilevered 900 mm with zero visible support hardware. At the treads' open edge, 12 mm ultra-clear low-iron glass panels create an unbroken transparent barrier that preserves the hillside view beyond.

• One flight floating straight staircase (mono-stringer, black powder coat)
• American white oak solid timber treads × 14 steps
• Frameless glass balustrade, 12 mm toughened low-iron ultra-clear glass

"The drawing package was so complete that our building inspector signed off without a single query. The stringer arrived exactly as spec'd — we had it plumbed and anchored in a morning."
