It is a central architectural feature that defines the volume, light, and flow of your home. ## Photos and videos - ![This floating staircase in the Twin Courtyard House is a work of art.

By utilizing materials like cantilevered teak wood treads and glass railings, we open up the floor plate. This approach allows light from skylights to travel vertically, effectively connecting the different levels of your home into one cohesive, airy space. Whether you are renovating a duplex or building a new residence, the staircase is often the most overlooked design opportunity. We approach these transitions by balancing structural integrity with visual lightness. ### Materiality and Form We frequently employ cantilevered teak wood steps to create a floating effect. This is not just an aesthetic choice; it creates transparency, ensuring sightlines remain open. For safety and elegance, we integrate tempered glass or custom MS (mild steel) railings. In some of our recent Bangalore projects, we have utilized thin, elemental black MS grills that contrast against warm timber, adding a modern, industrial touch that anchors the double-height void. ### Beyond Just Function A staircase can serve multiple purposes. We often extend the bottom landing to create a built-in seating area or a platform for displaying art. When placed near a central courtyard, the staircase acts as a visual anchor, drawing the eye upward while allowing natural light from overhead skylights to permeate the living areas below. We design these volumes to feel like a part of the home's overall narrative rather than an isolated utility. ### The Practical Reality Constructing a floating staircase requires precise civil coordination. We plan the structural supports during the early layout stages to ensure rigidity without visible bulky beams. If you are considering a renovation, we evaluate the existing slab capacity to determine if a floating design is feasible or if a more traditional supported structure with creative cladding is the better path forward. ## About ID+AS Architects We are ID+AS Architects, based in JP Nagar, Bangalore.
