An opulent residence recently constructed in Westhampton showcases a seamless, open-concept design. Its generous windows usher in copious amounts of natural light, creating an airy atmosphere. In accordance with the client’s desire for a continuous sense of openness, a floating staircase was incorporated, devoid of any enclosing walls. To achieve this goal, we crafted a single-stringer steel staircase featuring open risers and white oak treads. For the stairs and balcony, they opted for the Ithaca-style cable railings, as they provide unobstructed views by seemingly vanishing from sight. The railing posts are surface mounted to the treads and flooring creating a seamless transition as they ascend the stairs and continue along the balcony.
