Floating Staircases
Floating and cantilevered staircases with architectural lightness
Floating staircases and cantilevered stair structures are among the most demanding disciplines in modern staircase construction—and have been a particular specialty of Siller Stairs for many years. They embody visual lightness, precision engineering, and an exceptional architectural presence.
Although a staircase cannot physically “float,” innovative structural solutions can create the impression of nearly weightless architecture. The strategic use of load-bearing glass elements, concealed attachment systems, and precisely integrated supporting structures produces staircases that appear to float freely in space.
Cantilevered staircases with slender glass railings and sophisticated projecting-tread designs create an especially minimalist, elegant vocabulary and give interiors an extraordinary sense of openness. Transparency, the direction of light, and the minimal visibility of technical components turn the structure into a sculptural element of modern architecture.
Glass, used as both a design and load-bearing material, also opens up further possibilities for custom features. Reflections, frameless transitions, subtly integrated material contrasts, and unusual finish solutions create unique architectural effects. Models such as Mistral Magic embody this combination of innovation, transparency, and exacting design.
Designing cantilevered staircases requires the highest degree of experience, structural understanding, and construction precision. While conventional stringer or center-stringer stairs deliberately incorporate visible supporting structures, the challenge of floating stairs lies in making their structural stability almost invisible.
This is precisely where Siller combines creative engineering with exceptional craftsmanship. When screws, brackets, and load-bearing elements visually recede into the background, the result is a staircase solution that is both technically sophisticated and visually remarkable.
Cantilevered and floating staircases thus become architectural statements—created for projects centered on lightness, precision, and modern design.
