5 Bespoke Feature Steel Staircase Designs

Architectural Staircases & Custom Metalwork by MJ Patch Engineering

At MJ Patch Engineering Ltd, we specialise in designing, fabricating, and installing bespoke feature steel staircases that combine architectural impact with engineering precision…

Serving both residential and commercial clients across Bristol and the South West, our staircases aren’t just functional—they’re designed to be standout features in any space.

Whether you’re fitting out a modern office, upgrading a retail space, or renovating a home, our expert team delivers tailored, regulation-compliant solutions that reflect your design intent and enhance the character of the property.

Spiral Feature Staircase

Ideal for smaller footprints, the spiral staircase is a popular choice where space-saving functionality meets sculptural design. Its helical form creates movement and visual intrigue, often acting as the focal point of a room.

Our feature spiral staircases are fabricated in steel and can be customised with frameless glass balustrades, integrated LED lighting, and premium finishes for maximum impact in both domestic and commercial interiors.

Straight Steel Staircase

Timeless, versatile, and clean-lined—the straight staircase remains one of the most practical and widely used designs. In steel, it takes on a distinctly contemporary character, especially when paired with glass panels, open risers, or timber treads.

When elevated with high-quality materials and detailing, a straight staircase becomes more than just access—it becomes a feature steel staircase that anchors the interior aesthetic of homes, offices, or showrooms.

Cantilevered (Floating) Staircase

Minimalist and striking, cantilevered feature staircases create a floating effect, ideal for contemporary homes and commercial spaces looking to make a bold visual statement. With hidden fixings and open risers, these staircases bring lightness and transparency to any design scheme.

Our floating staircases are fabricated in steel for strength and stability, and are frequently paired with frameless glass balustrades and oak treads to enhance their modern architectural appeal.

T-Shaped Feature Staircase

If you’re working with a spacious entrance or central lobby, a T-shaped staircase provides an opportunity for real visual drama. The split-flight design adds symmetry and flow while creating a powerful architectural statement.

With steel stringers, custom spindles, and optional curved glass balustrades, this is a premium feature staircase that suits luxury homes, public buildings, and high-end commercial developments.

Bespoke Glass Balustrades & Architectural Metalwork

As part of our staircase offering, we also design and fabricate bespoke glass balustrade systems, tailored to suit both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Options include:

  • Frameless glass balustrades for a minimalist, uninterrupted view
  • Glass panels integrated into steel handrails or spindles for a clean, structural aesthetic
  • Custom architectural metalwork, including laser-cut infill panels, steel mesh, or curved handrails

Every component is designed in-house, ensuring full compliance with UK building regulations and seamless integration with your staircase design.
