Floating Stairs · Miami & South Florida

Floating Stairs. Structure Without Visual Weight.

Custom floating staircase systems combining concealed structure, precision-fabricated steel, premium wood, architectural glass, and integrated lighting.

Floating stair systems

Four ways to remove visible structure.

Each approach hides load-carrying members differently. The right one depends on the wall construction, the opening and the architecture.

Concealed Wall Structure

A hidden structural system creates the visual effect of treads emerging directly from the wall.

Mono-Stringer Floating Stair

A central stringer supports the staircase while preserving an open architectural appearance.

Side-Stringer Minimal Stair

Slim structural members positioned along the tread edges.

Cantilevered Stair

Individual treads project from a concealed or engineered support structure.

Structural feasibility depends on wall construction, attachment conditions, loads, geometry, applicable requirements, and engineering review.

Tread options

Tread materials.

Thick-section treads specified for a floating profile and South Florida conditions.

  • White Oak
  • Walnut
  • Engineered Wood
  • Stone
  • Steel
  • Glass

Railings

Compatible railing solutions.

Frameless Glass

Structural glass panels with no visible frame.

Side-Mounted Glass

Glass carried on the tread or stringer edge.

Floor-Mounted Glass

Base-channel glass anchored to the finished floor.

Minimal Metal Railing

Slim vertical or blade metal members in matching finish.

Wall-Mounted Handrail

Continuous handrail carried on the adjacent wall.

Final railing configuration is confirmed based on project conditions and applicable requirements.

Lighting

Light as part of the structure.

Continuous linear illumination integrated into the tread, edge or wall line — never decorative point fixtures.

Under-Tread LED

Concealed lighting positioned beneath each tread.

Side Channel LED

Linear lighting integrated into the structural edge or wall line.

Wall-Recessed Lighting

Architectural step illumination integrated into the adjacent wall.

Illuminated Glass Integration

Lighting integrated with compatible glass railing systems.

Construction concept

Conceptual assembly sequence.

A simplified view of how a floating flight is layered. Conceptual only — attachment details and engineering are resolved during Design Development.

Projects

Floating stair work.

Floating wood stairs, oak + glass, black steel + oak, cantilever flights, illuminated treads and mono-stringer systems.

Typical project investment

Project investment

Final investment depends on project dimensions, geometry, materials, engineering requirements, site conditions, fabrication complexity and installation scope.

Project investment varies by scope. Request an estimate for preliminary pricing — dimensions, drawings and site conditions define the final scope.
