Nice design...!!... But it's a pitty that you didn't design a way to reuse the mold.. Even you could do a smaller mold with few steps, poor the concrete, let it set then lift it, again and again till the right level...
Great design and visual simplicity but probably out of the budget of a DIYer like myself using the construction method shown. However a similar effect might be achieved via the ferrocement technique that uses a form that is reused to create identical riser sections. Each could be attached to the hidden base using threaded rod and the optional underside finished later or omitted. Ferrocement enables one to think outside the box, for example creating tiles for a heavily skewed patio space where no corners are 90%. The trick is to abandon rectangular or square tiles entirely and custom fit large format tiles to the existing shape. If you are faking large format ceramic tiles why not fake a $24 per square foot carrara marble finish as well. That's what I also do in a ferrocement version of this staircase.
Beautiful design.. So elegant . I wanted to know how the tensile forces were taken care of without steel! and from the dimensions , i understood it is similar to a sunshade or loft slab!..can this concept be applied to such small cantilevers. Thank you.
Congratulations. A This is a most stunning staircase of beautiful simplicity that honours very clever geometry. Thank you for creating such a fantastic film of the brave creation process. Very inspiring .
Great work, perfect precision! Two questions though: 1. What kind of mortar is this? How can it support the charges without reinforcement? Especially at the edges? 2. How come it is so perfectly casted even at the bottom? I see that it was all casted from the top. No vibrating?
