Your project in the canton of Thurgau
Thurgau runs along Lake Constance and the Rhine, with a landscape of hills, orchards and farming villages. Frauenfeld, the main town, and Weinfelden are regional centres with rental blocks, family homes and small old towns. On the lakeshore, Kreuzlingen, next to Konstanz, Arbon and Romanshorn combine urban housing, former industrial sites and residential districts. Further west, Steckborn and Diessenhofen, on the Untersee and the Rhine, have kept old houses, many of them half-timbered. Thurgau farmhouses, often surrounded by apple trees, are frequently converted into homes. The canton is German-speaking, but your request can be written in English. For a half-timbered house or an old farmhouse, it is worth asking the municipality whether particular rules apply. State the municipality and postcode, the condition of the building and the older elements you want retained during the work.
- For a half-timbered house, say whether the timber frame is exposed and should remain visible.
- To convert a farmhouse into a home, describe the area concerned and the condition of the barn.
- Near Lake Constance, mention any damp problems in cellars or walls.
Bespoke staircases in the canton of Thurgau
In Thurgau, bespoke staircases are found in half-timbered houses, farmhouses and villas overlooking Lake Constance. In Frauenfeld, the old houses in the centre and rental buildings call for the renovation of existing staircases, sometimes with wood cladding over a retained structure. On the lakeshore, in Kreuzlingen, family villas favour open, light and bright staircases. The many half-timbered farmhouses of the agricultural hinterland, converted into homes, offer large volumes beneath the roof timbers that readily accommodate a solid wood staircase leading to new bedrooms or a study. For a protected half-timbered house, inform the municipality early on.
- In a half-timbered farmhouse, check the position of the main beams before designing the stairwell opening, so they do not have to be cut.
- By the lake, an open staircase without risers lets natural light through to the level below.

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