48_Contemporary Round Stainless Steel Balustrade & Oak Treads, Arlington VA 2220

A remarkable Architect/Builder selected us to help design, build and install his geometric/contemporary four-level staircase; definitively not a “cookie-cutter” stair design, capable to blend/accompany very well the geometric forms of the custom millwork found throughout the home, and the spectacular chef’s kitchen/adjoining light filled family room.  Since the architect’s goal was to allow plenty of natural light in at all times (staircase is located next to wall of windows), the stairs feature solid 2” oak treads with 4” nose extensions, absence of risers, and beautifully finished poplar stringers. The horizontal cable balustrade system flows dramatically from the lower level rec room to the magnificent view offered by the fourth level roof top deck. CSC © 1976-2020 Century Stair Company.

21_Industrial Stairs With Metal Balustrade & No Risers, Washington DC, 20002

Light grey stair treads and dark gray metal railings lead through and around this home, spiraling up into a second level and a cantilevered living area that projects into the main space. Century Stair designed, manufactured and installed the staircase to complement the existing structural steel beams, materials selected by the clients to renovate flooring, furniture, appliances, and paint selections. We were able to create a staircase solution that was not merely for circulation throughout the home, but pieces of art to match the clients existing decor and an open interior design.

52_Minimalist & Floating Open-Riser White Oak Stairway, Arlington, VA 22207

The architect/builder decided to make a design statement by selecting 4" squared-off white oak treads, maintaining uniform open risers (up to code openings), and by matching the bold black-painted 3" routed-stringers with the clean and open 1/2"-round rigid horizontal bars. This thoughtful stair design takes into account the rooms/areas that surround the stairwell and it also brings plenty of light to the basement area. CSC © 1976-2020 Century Stair Company.

54_Dynamic and Open Wood and Metal Zig-Zag Staircase, Alexandria VA 22302

Century Stair met the architect's expectations by fabricating and installing a staircase that matched his aesthetic standards and high-end finishes; the clean and crisp zig-zag stringers were created by joining together modules of thick oak risers and nose less oak treads (fixed to the side walls with concealed joinery). A geometrical carpet selected by the owner, with subtle patterns and tones, makes this exquisitely proportioned stair work with the metal balustrade system and the home's elegant and eclectic interior design. Century Stair's artistic and technological achievements are proudly presented with this residential project. CSC © 1976-2020 Century Stair Company. All rights reserved.
