Serpentine Staircase
A serpentine Walnut staircase is finished off on site. This stair features two diminishing curves, in opposite directions. Each curve is a segment of an ellipse in plan.
Curved staircases are complex, therefore built in the shop, under controlled conditions. When complete, we dismantle the staircase for transport & installation.
This Paneled Wall section will match the historic panels from 1914. Some of the curves are compound curves - curving in plan and elevation
