First Floor and Staircase!

This weeks email update from the builder read 'concrete will be poured this week, weather permitting' so we were excited and a bit reserved about going out to the block this weekend.
We were happy to find the concrete for the first floor had been poured-including the staircase!

The staircase design was always a stab in the dark, I knew roughly what I wanted but the builders were limited in what they could show me of my staircase by their design program. From what I can see I am very happy and it looks exactly how I wanted it to and better then the designs were leading me to believe.

This is the view down. We have a balcony going around three sides of the staircase. Quite a view!

The black boards at the top have another 3 steps hidden behind them that go off to the left and right

Here you can see the 3 steps that the black boards currently hide. We are having black, wrought iron look balustrade.
