Stylish, economical, robust, the 1m2™ has been cleverly engineered to fit into the smallest of spaces and can be installed into a wide variety of contexts, both inside and out, allowing you to consider new ways of opening up your home without the need for significant structural change and disruption.
Safe for children and pets and a much safer option than a ladder for carrying bulkier items up and down, the 1m2™ is the flexible solution you’ve been looking for. From easier access to your attic and the potential for a new mezzanine in a space with high ceilings, a compact and safer way down into your basement or up to a roof terrace and more, the 1m2™ can dramatically change how you live.
The conventional way of getting into and out of a loft isn’t ideal and is often unsafe. Positioning a ladder or pulling down a loft ladder, neither of which are particularly stable, is the norm. With the 1m2™ you can create a strong and secure permanent staircase for an easy and safe means of entry. This allows a previously underused storage space to become a much more accessible resource.
Do you have a room with ceilings high enough that you could introduce a mezzanine? Picture a whole new floor for working, playing or sleeping. Perhaps you have considered the idea but haven’t been able to make it work due to the amount of space a conventional staircase would require.
It’s time for the 1m2™! With its compact nature and vertical shape, it is the perfect solution when space is at a premium, taking up just a meter’s width column of your existing room, while creating a connection to a whole new area above.
For the conversion of this small barn in the municipality of Finhaut in Switzerland, the architects required a slender, stylish staircase for a new connection between the ground and upper floor. The 1m2™ was the perfect solution.
Shown here without the anti-skid plugs, its compact size not only suited the scale of the building, but facilitated installation into such a small space.
As the architects were keen to ensure the right balance between a modern aesthetic and the historic nature and materials of the original building, the 1m2™ provided just the right understated contemporary statement.
Basements are often underused or not used at all because of an old and precarious staircase. By replacing this with a new and sturdy 1m2™, you immediately create safer access, and, due to its minimal form, more space in your cellar.
Imagine a new outdoor room – sofas, greenery, maybe a view. Many properties have flat roof space that isn’t used as there is no access and a conventional staircase would take up too much room. With the compact 1m2™, the idea of creating a pretty roof terrace flips from being an unlikely dream to an idea worth exploring.
There is now an option to order a galvanised version of the 1m2™. Just as strong, just as nimble, but made as an all-weather stair, it can be placed into any number of outdoor scenarios: fitted to a balcony, from a room, from a terrace – opening up opportunities for you to enjoy your outdoor spaces more easily.
