Six Bespoke Oak Staircases for Barn Conversions

Project Overview

A South Yorkshire-based property developer approached us for a premium staircase solution as part of their ambitious barn conversion project. This project involved transforming six historic barns into modern, luxury homes, blending rustic charm with contemporary design. Our brief was to design and manufacture six bespoke oak staircases that would become a standout feature in each property.
Design & Specification

The client’s vision was clear: each staircase needed to showcase the natural beauty of oak while maintaining a sleek and modern appearance. To achieve this, we specified a combination of:

– Oak Treads & Risers: Crafted from high-quality solid oak, the treads and risers oLer durability and a timeless aesthetic. The wood was carefully selected for its grain pattern and finished with a clear lacquer to enhance its natural warmth.
– Oak Newel Posts: We incorporated substantial oak newel posts, providing robust support while adding a classic touch to the overall design. The posts were designed to seamlessly integrate with the rest of the staircase, maintaining a consistent and elegant look.
– Glass Balustrades: To give a contemporary edge and maximize light flow within the homes, we installed glass balustrades. Creating a perfect contrast with the rich tones of the oak.
Challenges & Solutions.

Working within barn conversions often presents unique challenges due to the age and structure of the buildings. Here’s how we addressed some of the specific hurdles:

– Uneven Floors and Wall: Barn conversions are known for their uneven surfaces, making precision measurements crucial. Our team conducted a detailed on-site survey for each property, ensuring all components were custom-fit to the existing structure, achieving a perfect finish.
– Blending Old with New: It was vital that the staircases complemented the rustic charm of the original barns while oLering a modern living experience. By combining traditional oak elements with contemporary glass, we created a harmonious balance between old and new.
– Time Constraints: With multiple properties in simultaneous development, the project required careful scheduling and coordination. We worked closely with the developer to ensure each staircase was delivered and installed on time, without compromising on quality.

Client Feedback

The property developer was highly impressed with the outcome. They praised the quality of our craftsmanship, the beauty of the oak finish, and the sleek, modern look provided by the glass balustrades. The staircases have become a central design feature in each home, receiving positive feedback from potential buyers who appreciate the blend of natural materials and contemporary styling.

Final Thoughts

This project was a testament to the versatility of oak and the importance of bespoke design in transforming a space. The staircases we created not only fulfilled the functional requirements but also enhanced the character and value of each barn conversion, helping to elevate the properties into truly unique, high-end homes.
