Project #115 | Staircase with Continuous Rail System Without Newels

This remarkable three-story staircase features a continuous handrail that flows seamlessly from the basement to the third-floor loft without a single newel post interrupting its path. The unbroken rail line defines modern elegance, creating visual continuity across all levels.

White oak treads and handrail provide warmth and balance, keeping the design inviting despite its striking contemporary form. From the top of the basement up, the stairs are freestanding with floating stringers that enhance the sense of lightness. Combined with the home's slat walls, the staircase creates unique and spectacular views from every angle, proving that sometimes the most impressive design choice is what you leave out.
