| Modern Minimalist Staircase Design |
Staircase is the aid to connect the ground floor with the
higher floor in the home designs. For easy use and convenient to be passed by
the user, the staircase design should follow several considerations. What is
meant by the easiness and convenience for the staircase design here are the points mentioned below:
Staircase Position
The good position for staircase is where it can be reached
easily from any angle in the house, so the mobility of the people who dwell in
the house can run well. However, according to Feng Shui staircase that is
placed in the living room has bad impact for the people who live in the house,
because it affects the weather luck of the house owner as the income will not
be eternal and fluctuative very much.
The staircase also should not be in the middle of the house
as this will interfere a fortune of the house. In Feng Shui, the center point
of building is like the navel of the human body that must be protected from the
bad evil weather.
The placement of staircase above the kitchen is not good
too. Beside for Feng Shui it can stop the owner’s main income, in fact, the dust or dirt from footwear at the
stairs will easily contaminate the food that are preparing. For this reason,
this is certainly not very advantageous for the health.
Staircase Area
Staircase area should have sufficient lighting and stair
stepping should not use material that is too slippery so it will not endanger
the user at the house.
Application of certain distinctive materials will make the
stairs look unique. Alternatively, the choice of material in solid steel plate
with wooden floor will make the staircase shows an artistic impression in the
house.
Footing Elevation
Footing elevation is the next consideration for providing the convenience for its users. Normally the convenient height of the stairs is among 15 cms to 18 cms. If the stairs are higher than 18 cms, it will be very hard for the feet to step on them.
Width Steps
For the convenience and safety to go up and down, stairs
width must exceed the width of foot of the adults. The minimum width of stairs
is more than 22 cms. if the width of the stairs less than 22 cms, then it can
make people fall in slip or trip and this is very dangerous to users.
