Project Overview
Our recent project in Kilimani involved the complete design, fabrication, and installation of a custom staircase to enhance the interior aesthetic and functionality of a modern residential home. The client approached us with a vision of an open, elegant staircase that would serve as both a functional structure and a centerpiece within the living space. We collaborated closely with the homeowner to turn that vision into reality through precision craftsmanship and thoughtful design.
Client Requirements
The homeowner wanted a staircase that was:
- Visually modern and minimalistic.
- Open and airy, allowing natural light to pass through.
- Safe and sturdy for daily use.
- Carpeted to match the rest of the home interior.
Functionality was just as important as design. The client needed the staircase to blend seamlessly with the living room and surrounding décor, which featured neutral tones, textured wallpaper, and contemporary finishes.
Design and Planning Phase
We began with a detailed site assessment in Kilimani to understand the space, floor-to-ceiling height, and existing architectural elements. Based on the measurements and homeowner's preferences, we proposed an open-riser staircase with white framing, medium-pile carpeted treads, and a minimalist handrail for safety. Mockups were provided to the client for review and adjustments. Once approved, our fabrication team moved forward with precision cutting and assembling the staircase frame using engineered wood and steel reinforcements for long-term durability.
Execution and Installation
Installation was scheduled over a 3-day period to ensure minimal disruption to the client’s home life. The staircase frame was installed first, securely anchored to the upper and lower floors. The white-painted side panels gave the structure a clean, modern finish that contrasts beautifully with the warm beige carpeting. Each step was carefully fitted with carpet matching the existing flooring, creating a smooth visual transition. The open riser design allowed natural light from the patio doors to filter through, maintaining the room’s brightness and openness. For added safety, we installed a dual-railing system. One side featured a thick wooden handrail, while the other had a black metal post support to complement the contemporary style of the home.

Client Satisfaction

The installation not only met their practical needs but also exceeded expectations in terms of aesthetic integration. They particularly appreciated the seamless carpet blending and the sense of openness that the staircase created.
