n alternative to a railing mounted on brackets is one “cut” into the wall, a more difficult and expensive design, but one in keeping with the minimalism of the overall stair. Of course, as many of these photos show, having a handrail is not a guarantee that anybody will use it!

here are many variations on the concept of a floating staircase. Typical floating staircases have no visible riser and no decorative trim of any type. Often, these staircases have no stringers, and if the staircase does have stringers, they are exposed and visible. The steps on these staircases are often made from wood, though some are made from clear glass or plastic designed specifically for stairs or steel. Since they are striking, open and airy, it's best to use floating staircases in large areas where they can make a visual statement. Often these staircases are treated like a sculptural piece.

For this house “contextual” means focusing the good view and taking the bad view out of focus. In order to accomplish this, the form of the house was inspired by horse blinders. Conceived as two tubes with directed views, one tube is for entertaining and the other one for sleeping. Directly across the street from the house is a lake, “the good view.” On all other sides of the house are neighbors of very close proximity which cause privacy issues and unpleasant views – “the bad view.” Thus the sides and rear are mostly solid in order to block out the less desirable views and the front is completely transparent in order to frame and capture the lake – “horse blinders.” There are several sustainable features in the house’s detailing. The entire structure is made of pre-fabricated recycled steel and concrete. Through the extensive use of high tech and super efficient glass, both as windows and clerestories, there is no need for artificial light during the day. The heating for the building is provided by a radiant system composed of several hundred feet of tubes filled with hot water embedded into the concrete floors. The façade is made up of composite board that is held away from the skin in order to create ventilated façade. This ventilation helps to control the temperature of the building envelope and a more stable temperature indoors. Photo Credit: Alistair TuttonRequest Callback
