A successful collaboration by Bent and Curved Glass with architect, engineer and glazier has resulted in a stunning frameless glass stair installation in a recent residential project in Neutral Bay, Sydney.
Bent and Curved Glass manufactured custom toughened structural laminated glass stair treads, landing and balustrades, which were installed with an innovative concealed fixing method resulting in the cantilever panels appearing to float in mid-air.
“The resultant clear sight lines appear to reduce the mass of the stair, eliminating the heavy vertical element,” says Dan North of Jorge Hrdina Architects.
“Using an almost invisible material such as glass was crucial in avoiding that strong 45-degree staircase line, which would have worked against the rest of the building’s geometry.”
