Sculptural plaster on GTA stair walls and landings

Stair walls are the most wasted surface in a lot of new GTA houses. They are tall, they are seen every day, and they are usually painted the same greige as the hall. The ribbon and wing pieces in the Yafalux process photos are the correction: sculpture that follows the rise of the stair instead of a flat rectangle hung at eye level.

What changes on a stair

You see the work from below, from the landing, and in passing. Projection has to clear the handrail. A wing or a ribbon that looks right in a studio photo can hit a shoulder on a tight switchback. We measure the walk line before we build. Site photos with railing and protection on the floor are the real job. A studio panel is the study.

Light again

A lit ribbon on a landing works because the stair is otherwise dark at night. The plaster is the fixture's shade. If there is no electrical on that wall, we design for daylight and a sconce, not a fake backlight.

Timeline

Occupied houses need protection and a sequence that does not block the only stair. Tell us if this is the sole exit. We will stage the work around that. Quotes follow photos of the full run, not a crop of the pretty corner.
