■ Introduction
This London basement conversion was an excellent project for our Etch design. The angled wall was well suited to this style of staircase, opening the floating winder enough to display the ultra-contemporary form of the unique zig-zag profile.

■ The Challenge
As one of our earliest projects, the staircase needed to run along a wall that was not parallel to the upper floor where the stair finished. The turn was not a standard 90 degrees, making it particularly challenging to achieve a clean, well-resolved connection while maintaining correct geometry and visual balance. The complexity of the angles meant the staircase could not be broken into standard sections.
■ The Solution
The staircase was carefully designed and fabricated as a single piece to ensure accuracy through the non-standard turn. Certain connection details were developed to be welded on site, allowing precise adjustment during installation. Working closely with the builder, the design was adapted to suit both site conditions and visual expectations, resulting in a neatly resolved staircase that sits comfortably within the space despite the challenging layout.
The finished staircase demonstrates how thoughtful design and precise fabrication can transform non-standard proportions into a clean, confident architectural feature.
