Unique Metal Staircase Design Allows to Add New Bedroom to Small Apartment

<p>A metal staircase design with ladder like treads inside an iron frame add spaciousness, airy feel and unique look to upgraded apartment ideas. Weightless staircase design with a meal frame leads to a new top floor<span id="more-84176"></span> inside this renovated apartment in Milan by Italian architect Francesco Librizzi, www.francescolibrizzi.com/</p><br/><p>A small apartment had just two rooms before renovation and redesign. The architect attractively inserted a mezzanine bedroom under the high ceilings. The staircase is designed from 14mm wide lengths of iron, which create ladder-like treads inside a rectilinear tower. The base of the metal staircase is screwed into the hexagonal concrete tiles that cover the floor and make the frame structure stable and strong.</p><br/><p>The building is dated 1900. A tiny apartment with two rooms and a bathroom was transformed into a large home by unitizing space beneath the high ceiling. Antique windows, doors and floor tiles give big personality to this small apartment. The strong identity of the interior design allowed the dramatic intervention.</p><br/><h3>Unique metal staircase design creating access to mezzanine bedroom</h3><br/><table border="0" align="center"><br/><tbody><br/><tr><br/><td><br/><p><div id="attachment_84186" style="width: 520px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img alt="old house renovation and apartment ideas" class="size-full wp-image-84186" height="600" src="http://3.lushome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/metal-staircase-apartment-ideas-francesco-librizzi-studio-1.jpg" title="metal-staircase-apartment-ideas-francesco-librizzi-studio (1)" width="510" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Metal staircase design with ladder like treads and an inclined frame</p></div></td><br/></tr><br/></tbody><br/></table><br/><p>Utilizing a hidden potential of a narrow and tall space and leaving antique architectural features and interior design materials untouched creates gorgeous new apartment with airy and light atmosphere and antique charm.</p><br/> <br/> <br/><p>Adding a new bedroom and unique staircase design dramatically change the living space.
