floating staircase
Treads without visible supports
A floating staircase is a staircase designed to appear as if the treads are suspended in air, with no visible supports beneath them.
The effect is achieved by anchoring steps directly into a wall or using hidden structural elements like a single central spine or concealed brackets: The floating staircase gave the loft an open, modern feel.
The design emphasizes minimalism and visual lightness.
