Normanton on Trent – Bespoke Staircase Design
About the project
Part of the design for this new house was to create a stairs that linked the single storey element of the house to the second floor level. I achieved this by creating a glazed external pod that the side cantilevered stairs rose into. This created a stunning central feature that visually linked the floor levels, brought large amounts of day light into the house, and created a feature worth talking about.
Key Features
– Modern glass, stainless steel and Oak staircase.
– Floating cantilevered structure.
– Gravity defying appearance
– Sky light above the stairs
A message from the client
We cannot recommend John Morris highly enough.
We first approached John to design our house in 2015 as we were so impressed by his portfolio of work which seemed to create a unique sense of space and light. After listening to our needs and familiarising himself with our plot of land, he produced a breathtaking modern design, for which he was able to obtain planning permission from our local authourity.
He went on to help us throughout the process of this self build as we were total novices and took a lot of the stress out of it for us. He helped us select our builders, select our fixtures and fittings which included a visit to the NEC Exhibition Center at Birmingham and then to manage the process of the build itself.
We found him to be very much on our side and very easy to work with.
We continue to take delight in living in the space that he has created for us after 8 years. At the same time, it is a virtually passive design and has very low running costs.
We should add that John remains very supportive and approachable.
