STRATFORD
Initially conceived with golden balustrades that reflected a classic allure, the Stratford staircase’s design took a transformative turn on the concluding day of our engagement. Responding to our client’s refined vision for greater transparency and fluidity, we seamlessly integrated glass balustrades into the design. This swift adaptation, executed without sacrificing the project’s timeline or the excellence of craftsmanship, underscores our agility and unwavering commitment to client satisfaction. The resulting clear, glass balustrades not only enhance the staircase’s visual flow but also accentuate its open, airy ambiance, illustrating our dedication to realizing each client’s unique architectural aspirations.
The staircase’s compelling zigzag form is a testament to innovative engineering, blending the structural fortitude of steel with the natural appeal of hand-selected wood for its treads. Custom metalwork, meticulously designed and fabricated, offers robust support while maintaining the staircase’s aesthetic fluidity. This thoughtful combination of materials underscores our commitment to design excellence, marrying functionality with visual harmony.
The creation of the Stratford staircase was a finely orchestrated process, requiring just four weeks from the initial design approval to the final installation. This expedited timeline was achieved through a series of collaborative design sessions, the careful curation of materials from our trusted, certified partners, and precise on-site assembly. Our approach ensures each staircase is not merely installed but is seamlessly integrated into its intended space, achieving a perfect fit and finish that exceeds our clients’ expectations.

BALUSTRADES
In the design evolution of the Stratford staircase, a significant shift occurred on the final day of our contract. Initially envisioned with lustrous golden balustrades, our client's preference evolved towards glass balustrades to accentuate the staircase's transparency and flow. Demonstrating our unparalleled agility and deep commitment to client satisfaction, we seamlessly integrated this last-minute change. This adaptability ensured the Stratford staircase retained its aesthetic vision and functional integrity without compromising on the project's timeline or quality.
PREMIUM MATERIALS
The choice of steel as the backbone for the Stratford staircase’s zigzag architecture is deliberate. Known for its high tensile strength and durability, steel ensures the staircase’s structural integrity and longevity. The custom metalwork, intricately designed and fabricated with precision, not only provides robust support but also contributes to the staircase’s sleek, modern aesthetic. This use of steel exemplifies our ability to integrate strong, lasting materials into designs that enhance the visual fluidity and dynamic nature of the space.
The steps of the Stratford staircase are crafted from hand-selected wood, chosen for its natural beauty and warmth. Wood introduces an element of organic elegance to the staircase, softening the industrial feel of the steel structure. The specific selection of wood, with its rich grain patterns and tones, complements the overall design, adding a tactile quality that invites engagement and adds to the staircase’s inviting ambiance.
Complementing the staircase’s structure, aluminium railings and metal strings provide sleek, minimalistic support. Aluminium was selected for its lightweight yet strong properties, offering durability without compromising the staircase’s design. The metal strings, an essential component of the staircase’s support system, are meticulously integrated, ensuring stability while maintaining the design’s clean lines.
The materials used in the Stratford staircase – from the structural steel and hand-selected wood to the transparent glass balustrades and sleek aluminium railings – are a reflection of V.P Stairs Ltd’s dedication to crafting staircases that are as innovative as they are inviting. Through careful material selection and expert craftsmanship, we create spaces that inspire and delight.
