Step into the grandeur of this lakeside mansion in Texas and discover Glasshape’s innovative process, where cutting-edge digital field measurements and design expertise came together to craft bespoke TemperShield curved glass, precision-fit for not one, but two breathtaking curved staircases.
The larger circular staircase is located adjacent to the main foyer to this prestigious home in Pegasus Lane, Houston, and connects to the second level, which has adjoining curved glass railing, overlooking the voluminous living spaces with 7.5m high studs, crowned off by a third level dome light-well, which when combined has a total stud height of 11.6m. The staircase and overlook railing is made of Glasshape’s signature TemperShield clear, bent and toughened (tempered) 12mm glass, which complements the clean and curvaceous design aesthetic of the house’s interior.
Glasshape was once again honoured to work in collaboration with long-time client Houston Stair Company, who were the structural designers, fabricators and installers of the main feature curved staircase in combination with the smaller spiral staircase. Both staircases feature our signature TemperShield clear, bent and toughened (tempered) glass, albeit the spiral staircase has a much tighter bend radii of approximately 800mm. The smaller spiral staircase connects levels 2 and 3 of the house, providing access to an entertaining space complete with a bar and gallery as well as an outside covered viewing terrace overlooking the lake, which this magnificent property backs onto.
Houston Stair Company engaged Glasshape’s Digital Field Measuring and Design services to ensure a trouble-free process of delivering and installing an extremely high-quality finished product. Thanks to the co-operation of the homeowner, builder and Houston Stair Company, the process of digital field measuring and design has been captured and documented in a video, which you can watch below.
Once again, the finished result clearly illustrates the combined effort and attention to detail from everyone involved in this impressive and beautifully executed project.
