D10 · Premium Landed
Staircase renovation requests in the Holland Village landed pockets are usually design-led rather than mobility-driven. Owners want to brighten and open up dated 1990s timber staircases, often replacing closed risers with open risers and switching out heavy timber balustrades for slim metal or glass. The driver is normally a wider home renovation rather than an isolated staircase job.
Why Holland Village
Most existing staircases here are timber-clad concrete with carpet or solid timber overlays — these strip back to concrete more easily than full-timber structural staircases. Once back to concrete, the design options open up considerably: glass balustrades, integrated LED lighting, and feature pendant fixtures in the void above all become straightforward.
Scope depends on whether the project includes structural changes or just finish replacement. Solid timber treads and frameless glass balustrades are the most common upgrades requested here. We scope each staircase after a free site assessment.
A homeowner off Hua Guan Avenue stripped the carpet from her 1995 concrete staircase, installed solid oak treads with frameless glass balustrades, and added a pendant cluster in the void above — completed in 3 weeks with no structural rework needed.
Common Questions
The cost depends on the materials (timber overlay, natural stone, or a full structural redesign with glass balustrades and custom metalwork), the size of your staircase, and the complexity of the work. We provide a tailored quote after a free design consultation.
Timber is warm, quieter underfoot, and suits most interior styles. Marble is more durable, cooler (pleasant in Singapore), and suits grander homes. Timber needs re-sealing every 3–5 years; marble needs sealing and can be slippery when wet. Both are excellent choices for different aesthetics.
The cost depends on the glass type (tempered vs laminated), the mounting system (point-fixed, channel, or standoff), and the total length of railing required. We provide a tailored quote after a free design consultation.
A tread overlay with new railings typically takes 2–3 weeks. Full structural redesigns may take 4–6 weeks. We stage work to maintain access between floors throughout.
An open riser staircase has no vertical boards between treads, creating a light, modern look that allows light to pass through. They're popular in contemporary landed homes. Building code requires gaps under 100mm for child safety, which we achieve with glass or metal infill panels.
Yes, but structural changes to the staircase layout require engineering approval. We handle the full process including structural calculations and submissions.
