Ellis Builds Inc.
This extraordinary staircase became the unexpected centerpiece of the entire renovation. Not part of the original design, it took shape through an on-site collaboration between the designer, homeowners and skilled trim carpenters. The goal was a clean, elegant railing that would seamlessly integrate with the existing curved stairs and upper landing; and the results speak for themselves.

FLUX Modern.
At its core, this home, set in the outskirts of Querétaro, Mexico, is built around a striking staircase, a sculptural centerpiece that not only anchors the space but also dictates the flow of the entire design. Acting as a vortex, the stair’s curvature bends the architecture around it, influencing everything from the sweeping upper-level living room to the cantilevered bedroom that gracefully wraps around its form. Above, a skylight mirrors the staircase’s geometry, casting shifting patterns of light and shadow throughout the day. Photography by Pim Schalkwijk.
EeStairs.
EeStairs is delighted to have the privilege of designing and installing a bespoke DNA feature staircase for a beautiful home on the French Riviera. The DNA staircase by EeStairs is a captivating design solution characterised by two intertwined helical steel tubes at the centre of the stair, reminiscent of Mother Nature’s remarkable DNA strand. The recent installation in Monaco is a beautiful example featuring laminated glass treads, glass balustrade and a polished stainless steel structure. The DNA staircase is the brainchild of EeStairs’ Senior Designer Geoffrey Packer who was inspired by the interplay of two rising helical tubular elements. Photographer and designer Geoffrey Packer.
BWC Architects.
Part of a larger renovation project, BWC Architects designed and built this library and hidden office space with cool curved storage shelves. A combination of hardwood and aluminum, custom storage shelves and the library piece creates the cool aesthetic wasting no space. In a striking design, the stairs tightly hug the pre-existing concrete pillar. At the top of the stairs, custom railing lines the edge of the bookshelves. Below, a hidden desk space is revealed with a flip down desk. Photography by Jillian Northrup, Owner & Designer.
