Twisted U Shape

This is a good example of what could be done to an average U shape stair to add 

Twist fitting to the transitions and add a more flowing and graceful look.

This view shows the effect of twist fittings at the landings and turns as the 

handrail flows down the stair and into the volute

                            The inviting handrails shows a twist fitting at the top of the stairs

Saddleback Balconies

      Simple , but elegant starting Newel Post starts the beautiful handrail system, a heavy handrail continues up the 1st up stair and begins a series of incredible upeasings that forms the "Saddleback" balcony detail.

On the 2nd floor the simple elegance continues with simple box newels with a stop chamfer detail. But the "Saddleback" upeasings make just a strong statement especially in the handrail profile and size.
The detail of the longer turned baluster under the upeasing shows a little extra thought went into this design.

Incredible Starting Post

I could only imagine how ALL the workers in this project stopped to watch the rail installer carry this monster into the house, and stood around as he installed it.

 
   Really nice "Toad Back" handrail profiled Twist Fittings as the handrail twist and turns up to the 3rd floor.

Very Blue

This is a very unique handrail, but I believe most of the parts could be ordered out of a catalog and shipped right to the job site. The fluted round posts and turn stained urn make a powerful statement of wealth and grandeur in this foyer.

   Looking down at this masterpiece, one can't help but to study the detailing of the balusters with flutes and twisting details. The height of the handrail is also shown in this picture, I think its about 5" or more tall and then cut into the round newel posts must have been fun.

Awesome Invitational Starting Steps

 

                   The more you look at this picture the more incredible details and designs you start to see.

The Twisted Volute stands out as the centerpiece of this design featuring 360 degree of handrail scroll.

Twisted turned hollow newel post and custom turned balusters follow the handrail downward.

The stair brackets feature raised panels and detailed scrolls.

White Stairs and Handrails

            This staircase is a great example of a free standing cantilevered stair and landing,the box posts with clipped corners result in an interesting Rail Cap with a over the post continuous handrail .The coffered ceiling is constructed right into the fascia of the balcony handrail and makes dramatic look.

Highly detailed Box Posts with clipped corners offer a very unique look, the twisted balusters running on rake show quite of bit planning and design went into this stair design.

Even the balcony handrail show a great deal of detail and fore thought, such as the baluster blocks match the height of the newel posts. The fascia feature raised panels and under ceiling trim.

Raised panel stair brackets the length of 2 treads offer a grand look to the side of the stairs.

Twisted Box Post ?

Great looking box posts and twisted rake rail

Here is a view of a Twisted 180 Rake to Level fitting, the has both a level quarter

 and a easing worked into it create a smooth flowing handrail.

                         Nice view looking down onto the stairs, shows a invitational starting steps
                             and a box post turned to create a very interesting entry up the stairs.
