Your project in the canton of St. Gallen
The canton of St. Gallen almost entirely surrounds the two Appenzells and stretches from Lake Constance to Lake Zurich. The city of St. Gallen is known for its old town with oriel-windowed houses and for many buildings from its textile era. Rapperswil and Jona, on the shore of Lake Zurich, combine a historic centre with newer residential districts. Wil and Gossau are busy regional centres, while in the Rhine Valley, Altstätten and Buchs lie close to the Austrian border. The Toggenburg, around Wattwil, is a hilly landscape of farms and timber chalets. The canton is German-speaking, but your request can be written in English. For an old house in a town centre, ask your municipality whether the planned work requires approval. Give the municipality and postcode and describe building access, whether the project is in town, by the lake or in the Toggenburg.
- For an oriel-windowed house in St. Gallen's old town, attach photos of the façade and windows.
- In the Toggenburg, say whether the house is isolated and how it can be reached in winter.
- On the shores of Lake Zurich or Lake Constance, describe access to the plot and the space available for materials.
Bespoke staircases in the canton of St. Gallen
In the canton of St. Gallen, bespoke staircase projects vary greatly from one region to another. In St. Gallen, the townhouses with oriel windows and the buildings from the embroidery era have turned-wood staircases, sometimes ornate, which are restored or faithfully reproduced. On Lake Zurich, in Rapperswil, villas and penthouse apartments look for contemporary staircases with steel stringers and light wood treads. The Toggenburg and the Rhine Valley have many extended farmhouses and chalets that call for solid wood staircases suited to converted attics. For an old-town house, consult the municipality before making any changes.
- To reproduce an ornate old staircase, provide detailed photos of the balusters and handrail so the joiner can copy the profiles.
- In a converted attic, an alternating-tread staircase can help out, but for daily use a gentler pitch is preferable.

Frequently asked questions
How can replacing a staircase affect access in St. Gallen?
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.
