Stair Building – Timber Loft Stair Project

SERIES

2 Videos

Joining the living level and the loft are a set of stairs which have a lot of challenging design considerations including how they terminate in the mud room due to space constraints, the platform height to ensure good head height clearance and of course the finishes which ensure the small area doesn’t feel cramped or dark.

This series will document the design, planning, construction and finishing of the loft stairs project. We’ll use design software to show the visualization and discuss design challenges which have been considered to bring the design to a final stage. Then we’ll begin the process of using spare timbers and the sawmill to create the framing members, treads, stringers and risers.

Finally the stairs will receive many amazing embellishments in the trim and finishes stage including motion activated tread lighting.
