BISHOPSGATE

CREATING FLOW, CONNECTION AND CONTINUITY

SOME PROJECTS BEGIN WITH A STAIRCASE. OTHERS ARE DEFINED BY ONE. AT BISHOPSGATE, THE STAIRCASE WAS NEVER JUST A MEANS OF MOVEMENT, BUT A FEATURE DESIGNED TO SHAPE THE EXPERIENCE OF THE HOME.

Location Windsor
Sector Private Residential
Services Design, Manufacture, Installation
Scope Staircase subframes, stair balustrades, secondary spiral staircase and balustrade, terrace and lightwell balustrades.
Design Chester Hoop Balustrade

At Bishopsgate, Burvills was appointed to deliver a complete staircase package spanning multiple levels and extending beyond the interior architecture into the surrounding landscape. The challenge was not simply to create individual elements, but to establish a consistent design language throughout the property.

At its centre sits a bespoke hoop balustrade comprising more than 250 individually fabricated steel components. This detail is repeated throughout the home, from the principal staircase to a secondary spiral stair and external lightwell staircases, creating continuity across every level.

A handcrafted American White Oak handrail, finished in a rich ebony tone, introduces warmth and contrast while reinforcing the project’s attention to detail.

The result is a staircase that feels integrated into the architecture itself, connecting spaces both physically and visually.
