Triple Flight Challenger Staircase

Zakuna were delighted to be specified for the design and installation of the stairs and internal doors for two adjacent contemporary new build projects in Bath, Somerset, for Chris North Design. Featuring one of the properties here, the staircase and door package work together to establish a bold, contemporary character throughout this luxury home.

Challenger Staircase

Our Challenger Staircase looks stunning from all angles with its architectural ‘Zig-Zag’ lines. The design is striking and has created a superb centrepiece for this luxury home. The three flight set of stairs is fixed around a central wall with white split stone cladding, and the Zig-Zag design complements the geometric pattern of the cladding beautifully, creating a dialogue between the angular steel and the textured stone.

The design is emphasised by the contrasting white steel strings from the sides, with clean lines of the glass balustrades set within the double stringer to conceal the glass fixings. This double stringer detail ensures an uninterrupted visual line, with the glass panels appearing to float between the strings. Step nose Oak treads are stained in Slate Grey, a contemporary tone that adds a sophisticated, muted quality to the staircase. The 180 degree half landing is suspended from the second floor, creating an intriguing design feature which looks spectacular from below and reinforces the sense of architectural daring. Matching Slate Grey Oak square handrails add the perfect finishing touch.

Flush Uni U004 Interior Doors

A suite of Flush Uni U004 Interior Doors in Slate Grey Stained Oak were also installed throughout the property, perfectly matching the treads of the staircase and complementing the interior decor. The doors are beautifully understated in design, modern flush doors with an intricate pattern of four wood grains travelling in horizontal and vertical directions. These contemporary doors are one of the most popular designs with architects and self-builders, due to their stunning looks and high quality craftsmanship.

Our internal door sets are pre-hung in the factory for perfect alignment and closure, with CNC precision engineering of fittings and ironmongery for high performance. Our Architrave Door Frame System was chosen with APA01 modern architraves, butt joined with a slimmer top section to create a stylish feature joint for a contemporary look. Door handles are LH118 in stainless steel, a contemporary slim design with a straight lever handle ideal for creating a minimalistic effect, ergonomic and comfortable to use.
