Tamir Addadi has designed a new staircase for a loft in London. The client wanted to replace the ladder to the loft with permanent stairs to improve the connection to the loft to the rest of the house, as he decided to start using it as a study.
The designer wanted to come up with a design solution that would help integrate the two differently designed floors – the wood-clad loft with its clean, modern lines, and the carpeted Victorian lower floor with its engraved banisters – without disturbing each of their distinctive characters.
They decided to widen the opening to the loft, since it was really tight from the beginning, and that way they could also get more natural light in there. Improving the flow of light was also another way of strengthening the connection between the floors and making it more inviting to use the staircase and climb up into the loft.
