About Floating Stairs
Custom Floating Stairs in Medina
On a Medina estate the principal staircase is architecture, not circulation. A floating stair in a double height entry hall becomes the defining gesture of the interior, and at this level every dimension and junction is examined closely.
We design and fabricate bespoke floating staircases for Medina properties, in mono stringer, double stringer, and cantilever configurations, with matching railings in glass, metal, or stainless. Everything is drawn for the specific volume it will occupy.
Medina commissions are carried out in collaboration with Floating Stairs Seattle, our sister company, so an estate project draws on dedicated staircase engineering alongside the custom railings and metalwork we produce ourselves.
Floating Stairs Types
Explore Our Floating Stairs Types
Three structural approaches, and on an estate the decision is usually made with the architect once the structural conditions of the opening are understood.
Mono Stringer Stairs
Treads are supported by one central steel stringer.
- Clean and modern profile
- Open feel with less steel
- Strong support for daily use
On an estate stair the single spine can be detailed to near invisibility, which is often the brief in a minimalist Medina interior.
Double Stringer Stairs
Treads are supported by two steel stringers.
- Very strong support system
- Great for wider stair runs
- Stable feel underfoot daily
Suited to the generous stair widths a Medina entry hall calls for, where the run has to feel substantial as well as look open.
Cantilever Stairs
Treads are anchored into a structural wall support.
- True floating stair effect
- Minimal visible structure
- Most open appearance
The purest floating result, and the one most dependent on structural provision. We confirm the wall design with the architect early.
Interior Floating Stairs
Interior Floating Stairs in Medina Homes
Interior floating stairs in a Medina home almost always occupy a double height entry or a gallery volume, where the staircase is visible from several rooms at once. That visibility is what makes the detailing so demanding.
We design each system around the architecture rather than dropping a standard configuration into it, adjusting tread thickness, nosing, and stringer profile to the stone, timber, and metalwork already specified. Shop drawings go out for approval before anything is fabricated.
Exterior Floating Stairs
Exterior Floating Stairs in Medina
Exterior floating stairs link terraces, gardens, and waterfront levels without interrupting the outlook, which on a Medina property is the entire point. Slim steel stringers keep the lake view intact where conventional framing would block it.
Waterfront installations are specified for the lakeside humidity, with durable steel, non slip treads, and marine grade hardware where the exposure warrants it. Matching frameless glass railings keep the whole assembly as transparent as the structure allows.
Neighborhoods
Floating Stairs in Medina and the Points
We design and install floating stairs across Medina and the neighboring Points communities, Clyde Hill, Yarrow Point, and Hunts Point, where much of the work comes by referral.

Stairs and Railings Together
Floating Stairs and Railings as One Commission in Medina
On an estate, a staircase and its balustrade sourced separately rarely align properly in finish or detail. We supply both, so the treads, stringers, and railings are drawn together and finished to a single specification.
Floating Stairs Seattle brings dedicated staircase engineering to the structure while our shop produces the railings and coordinates the metalwork with the rest of the estate, all under one commission.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will an exterior stair hold up on the waterfront?
Yes, when specified for it. The lakeside humidity is relentless, so we use durable steel with appropriate finishing, non slip treads, and marine grade hardware where the exposure justifies it. That specification is the difference between a stair that still looks right in a decade and one that does not.
Can the staircase coordinate with the rest of the estate’s metalwork?
Yes, and it is usually the expectation. Because we fabricate the railings, gates, and architectural metal ourselves, one finish and one design language can run from the driveway gate through to the principal staircase, which is what a property of this caliber calls for.
Is a cantilever staircase possible in our home?
It depends entirely on the supporting wall. A cantilever anchors each tread into structure, so the wall has to be designed or reinforced to carry that load. On a new Medina build it is straightforward to plan for; on an existing house we assess what is there before committing to the design and will tell you honestly if it is not viable.
What does a bespoke floating staircase involve on an estate?
It starts with the volume rather than a catalog configuration. We work from architect drawings, confirm what the structure can carry, then design the stringer, tread, and railing details around the finishes already specified for the house. Shop drawings go out for approval before fabrication, and the railings are drawn alongside the stair rather than added afterward.
