Stairs as a Volume

A minimalist staircase that acts as the protagonist of the space. The staircase is not a light metal structure, but a solid volume made of the same material as the wall: concrete or stone treads cantilever directly from the wall, each step a complete slab, with visible thickness from the side; or the entire staircase is a solid inclined volume, with the side being a complete inclined wall. There is no handrail, or only a thin handle embedded in a recessed groove in the wall. Avoid: using lightweight metal and glass staircases, adding vertical railings and facade handrails, making the side of the staircase hollow, or using materials different from the wall to clad the treads.

一座作為空間主角的極簡樓梯。樓梯不是輕巧的鐵件構造,而是一個與牆同材質的實體量體:混凝土或石材的踏階從牆面直接懸挑出來,每一階都是一塊完整的板,側面看得到厚度;或是整座樓梯是一個實心的斜向量體,側面是一片完整的斜牆。沒有扶手,或只有一道嵌在牆面凹槽裡的細把手。避免:使用鐵件與玻璃的輕量樓梯、加入垂直欄杆與立面的扶手、把樓梯的側面做成鏤空、使用與牆面不同的材質包覆踏階。
