A stair can be more than circulation. In this private residence, bronze becomes a quiet structural note, carrying warmth and depth through the center of the space, balanced by glass and fine stainless cable lines.
Process → Effect
The surface is developed as a brushed bronze with a measured, cloud like darkening, so the finish reads calm across every tread and riser. The result is tactile and consistent, with a controlled reflection that changes gently as you move through the volume.
This project features a double stair flight in a private residence in Rishon Letzion, Israel, finished in bronze with a controlled darkened, cloud like tonality. The coated scope includes both risers and tread surfaces, developed to keep the finish continuous across the geometry and readable under natural daylight. Guarding elements set a deliberate contrast: stainless steel cable lines on one side, and clear glass on the other, allowing the bronze to remain the visual anchor without adding visual noise. Technologies used: MetaliQ liquid metal.
Bronze behaves differently on stairs than on vertical cladding. It is read at close range, under changing angles, and through repeated contact. Here, the finish is tuned to stay quiet across broad treads, while still holding detail at the step breaks, so the staircase reads as one composed object rather than a sequence of parts.
The surrounding materials keep the bronze honest. Glass preserves the line of the stair, stainless cables add a fine graphic rhythm, and the bronze carries the weight of tone. Under daylight, the surface moves between warmth and shadow, with a disciplined sheen that remains stable from the first step to the landing.
Share your geometry, substrate, and desired tone direction. We will align samples, define the finish logic, and support a clear path from approval to production.
