Narrabeen Residence

Narrabeen, NSW

Architectural Concrete Staircase

Designed for the Landscape

A sculptural architectural staircase designed to replace an ageing brick stairway while preserving the site's established sandstone walls and mature garden. Every step was individually formed to weave naturally through the existing landscape rather than compete with it.

Construction Process

  1. Existing

    The original brick stairway had reached the end of its life. The challenge was to replace it while protecting the surrounding sandstone walls, mature planting and established landscape.

  2. Formwork

    Every tread was individually formed and reinforced to follow the site's natural contours. Particular attention was given to preserving the surrounding rockwork while creating clean architectural lines.

  3. Pour

    Each step was carefully placed and hand finished on site to achieve crisp edges, consistent texture and a durable architectural finish throughout the staircase.

  4. Completed

    Once cured and stripped, the staircase settled naturally into the landscape, appearing as though it had always belonged within the garden.
