Your project in the canton of Basel-Stadt
Basel-Stadt is an urban canton made up of the city of Basel and the municipalities of Riehen and Bettingen. On both banks of the Rhine, Grossbasel and Kleinbasel combine old townhouses, early twentieth-century apartment buildings and contemporary architecture. The old town, with its steep lanes and inner courtyards, can make vehicle access tricky. Greener Riehen has mainly villas, while hilltop Bettingen keeps a village feel. In such a dense setting, parking, scaffolding and rubble removal need forward planning. The local language is German, but your request can be written in English without difficulty. For any work on an old building or in the old town, check with your municipality beforehand. State the district or municipality, postcode and parking arrangements or access to the building's courtyard.
- In the old town, describe the width of the street and whether there is a lift.
- For a flat in a rental building, say whether the owner or the property management company has given their agreement.
- Mention whether there is space in the courtyard to store materials during the work.
Bespoke staircases in the canton of Basel-Stadt
In the canton of Basel-Stadt, the density of the built environment shapes every staircase project. In Basel, the narrow townhouses of Grossbasel and Kleinbasel have winding wooden stairwells, often old, which are restored or replaced like for like. Apartment buildings from the industrial era sometimes offer the chance to join two levels into a duplex, which requires the agreement of the owner or the property management company and a carefully planned opening. In Riehen, villas and houses with gardens tend to call for open staircases in steel and wood, or outdoor steps leading to the terrace. For a listed house or an opening in a floor, contact the municipality early on.
- For a duplex in an old building, have the span of the joists checked before opening the floor, to decide where the stairwell should go.
- In a narrow house, a spiral staircase saves floor space, but check the passage width for moving furniture.

Frequently asked questions
How can replacing a staircase affect access in Basel-Stadt?
Explain which rooms and entrances depend on the existing stair and whether occupants need access during the work. Removal, delivery and fitting must be coordinated with the structural assessment. Ask who plans any temporary route and protects the opening before the old staircase is taken out.
Which measurements matter when designing a staircase?
Floor-to-floor height, opening shape, headroom and access affect the design. Initial dimensions can explain the brief, but final measurements and structural support need professional assessment. Include the expected users and surrounding doorways so the proposed staircase can be checked in its actual setting.
What should I compare in bespoke staircase quotes?
Compare the stair structure, treads, finish, handrails and guarding with measuring and installation. Identify removal of an existing stair and work on floors or walls separately. Ask who checks supports and relevant requirements, and approve the final design before fabrication.
How should I prepare for the bespoke staircase visit or work?
Provide available floor plans and photographs of both levels. Describe delivery access and the route that must remain usable. Do not remove an existing stair or alter the opening before the agreed assessment, and confirm temporary access arrangements as part of the work sequence.
