Yes, and on most Bellevue projects that is how it starts. We work from architect or interior design drawings, produce shop drawings for approval before fabrication, and coordinate the stair and railing finishes with the rest of the specified package.

Yes. Because we fabricate the railings, gates, and architectural metal ourselves, we can carry one powder coat color and one design language from the staircase through to the exterior railings and entry gate, so a Bellevue home reads as a single coordinated scheme.

A double stringer, generally. Two steel stringers give the rigidity a wider run needs and produce a more substantial architectural feel underfoot. A mono stringer can span a wide stair but requires heavier steel to do it, and a cantilever depends entirely on what the supporting wall can carry.

They suit it exceptionally well. Contemporary Eastside homes are usually built around open volumes and long sightlines, and a conventional closed staircase works against both. A floating stair keeps a double height entry reading as one space and becomes a sculptural feature rather than a necessary obstruction.
