Holly and I have had such fun with the challenge of illustrating spiral staircases that it seemed a good idea to share this with you. Last weekend I had an opportunity to take some photos, though space was rather constrained, of medieval stone, spiral staircases. These are an excellent economical use of space, and a very interesting exercise for architects and illustrators in getting the perspective right.
Illustrations here are the stone spiral staircase, a sneak preview from our new book 'Secrets of Wolvern Castle' and in a post below, Alex's Tree Staircase.
In my spare time (!) I'll have a go at building blocks to make a spiral staircase in Google Sketchup (without help from which the Castle Dining Room would be totally squiffy). More spiral staircase pics can be seen in a special Photo Gallery.

Exterior has made its name through Spiral Stairs
ReplyDeletespiral stairs are fully assembled in one piece
Exterior spiral staircases can be customized to suit your style.
i just loved it.
A home is more than a piece of real estate. A home is seen as the very recognition of the individual. Therefore, many people sometimes prefer to add personal touches to their houses, like painting a wall, designing furniture, and sometimes, building stairs.
