Modern steel stairs detailing is about merging sleek architectural design with structural integrity. In this featured project, we delivered a double landing stair that not only looks stunning but also performs flawlessly—without the need for additional supports.
The Challenge:
This wasn’t a typical stair. The client requested segmented stringers, aiming for a visually impactful design that would feel light and open. The engineering challenge? Achieving this clean look without posts or extra supports.
We had to develop and model moment connections at the top landing that could handle the required loads—maintaining full stability while preserving the minimal visual impact.
Our Expertise:
To strike the perfect balance between form and function, we carefully shaped each segment of the stringer while accounting for structural behavior. Our team created custom moment connection details that supported the stair without disrupting the design intent.
In parallel, we integrated a cable railing system to emphasize openness and continuity. Combined with precise tolerances and tight connection logic, the result was a staircase that was both buildable and beautiful.
The Result:
This double landing stair is a strong example of modern steel stairs detailing done right. The segmented stringers, clean geometry, and concealed supports all came together to deliver a staircase that’s as functional as it is striking.
By bringing detailing and engineering together, we ensured that the final product didn’t just match the vision—it exceeded it. And that’s what we aim for on every architectural stair project.
