floating stairs
Steps without visible supports
Floating stairs are a staircase design where each tread appears to be unsupported, creating a suspended or cantilevered effect.
The structural support is typically hidden within the wall or beneath minimal stringers, giving the impression that the steps float in midair.
The style is associated with modern, minimalist architecture: The floating stairs made the entryway feel more open.
