Spanish Revival • Staircase: Tiled Risers and White Walls

A staircase in a modern Spanish Revival residence. The staircase is a masonry structure, covered with white stucco, with a continuous rounded slope on the side that connects directly to the wall, so no independent stair volume is visible. The treads are thick terracotta or dark wood, and the risers are covered with blue and white geometric hand-painted glazed tiles. The handrail is a thin black iron rod, fixed to the white wall. The wall surface is completely bare, with only a small square window opening letting light in, casting light spots on the steps. Avoid: using independent wooden and iron staircases, adding balusters and carved handrails, hanging walls full of photos on the staircase wall, having patterns on both treads and risers.

一段現代西班牙復興住宅的樓梯。樓梯是砌體結構,外覆白灰泥,側面是一道連續的圓潤斜面直接與牆相接,看不到獨立的梯段量體。踏板是厚實的赤陶或深木,踢面貼著藍白幾何的手繪釉磚。扶手是一根細的黑鐵直桿,固定在白牆上。牆面完全空著,只有一個小的方形窗洞把光引進來,在階梯上投下光斑。避免:使用木作與鐵件的獨立樓梯、加入欄杆柱與雕花扶手、在樓梯牆面掛滿照片、讓踏板與踢面都有圖案。
