Trappen &
interieurrenovatie

Coordinated architectural renovation for stairs, circulation areas and interior spaces. Systems Studio combines geometry, safety, structure, materials, lighting, electrical systems and technical detailing into one practical design process.

Interieurrenovatie afgestemd op de werkelijke situatie

We begin by surveying the existing building, documenting stair geometry, circulation, finishes, structural constraints and technical installations before developing the renovation concept.

1

Beoordeling van de bestaande toestand

Accurate documentation helps reveal spatial constraints, safety issues and construction conditions before design decisions are made.

  • Opmeting van trappen en binnenruimtes
  • Controle van trapgeometrie, vrije hoogte en bordessen
  • Beoordeling van zichtbare structurele gebreken
  • Inspectie van balustrades, leuningen en afwerkingen
  • Beoordeling van circulatie en toegankelijkheid
  • Photographic condition report
  • Review of existing plans and renovation history
2

Trapontwerp en traprenovatie

Staircases are developed as architectural, structural and safety-critical elements rather than isolated decorative features.

  • Rechte trappen, kwartslagtrappen en halfslagtrappen
  • Spiltrappen en compacte trapconcepten
  • Houten, stalen, betonnen en hybride systemen
  • Onderzoek naar verhoudingen van aantrede en optrede
  • Coördinatie van trapbomen, bordessen en ondersteuning
  • Nosings, edge details and slip resistance
  • Handrails and balustrades
  • Opbergruimte onder de trap and integrated furniture

Interior architectural renovation

Interior spaces are coordinated room by room to create a consistent relationship between layout, materials, lighting, storage and technical installations.

  • Space planning and circulation improvements
  • Internal walls and partitions
  • Ceiling systems and suspended ceilings
  • Flooring layouts and transitions
  • Doors, frames and architectural openings
  • Built-in furniture and storage concepts
  • Decorative wall and ceiling finishes
  • Lighting integration
  • Room-by-room finish coordination
4

Safety, access and usability

Renovated stairs and circulation spaces must remain comfortable, clearly illuminated and safe for everyday use.

  • Slip-resistance considerations
  • Guard and balustrade coordination
  • Continuous handrail design
  • Child-safety considerations
  • Comfortable tread and riser relationships
  • Clear headroom and landing zones
  • Accessibility improvements where practical
  • Emergency circulation considerations
5

Materials and finish systems

Materials are selected according to appearance, durability, maintenance, acoustic behaviour and compatibility with the existing building.

  • Timber and engineered wood
  • Natural stone and ceramic finishes
  • Microcement and mineral coatings
  • Metal and glass elements
  • Plaster and decorative wall systems
  • Acoustic panels and absorptive finishes
  • Durable commercial-grade surfaces
  • Colour and finish schedules
6

Integratie van verlichting en elektriciteit

Electrical provisions and lighting are coordinated with the architecture so that visible cabling and late-stage conflicts can be avoided.

  • Step and riser lighting
  • Wall and handrail lighting
  • Motion and presence sensors
  • Switch and socket positioning
  • Emergency and circulation lighting
  • Concealed electrical routing
  • Decorative lighting coordination
  • Smart-control integration
7

Technical and MEP coordination

Interior design is coordinated with heating, ventilation, electrical systems and technical access requirements.

  • Radiator and heating-system interfaces
  • Underfloor-heating coordination
  • Ventilation grilles and duct routes
  • Service risers and technical enclosures
  • Access panels and maintenance zones
  • Acoustic separation
  • Fire-resistance coordination
  • Integration with intelligent-building systems
8

Technical drawings and project documentation

Documentation can be prepared for design approval, contractor consultation, budgeting, coordination and construction.

  • Existing and proposed floor plans
  • Stair plans, sections and elevations
  • Construction and joinery details
  • Lighting and electrical layouts
  • Floor, wall and ceiling finish plans
  • Material and colour schedules
  • Built-in furniture details
  • Preliminary quantities and budget estimate
  • Contractor coordination drawings
  • Revision-controlled construction documents
Structural modifications, fire-safety studies and specialist compliance verification may require coordination with an architect, structural engineer or other authorised specialist, depending on the project scope and applicable regulations.

Renovation workflow

The process keeps architectural design, technical systems, materials, costs and construction documentation aligned.

Stage 1Initial consultation
Stage 2Measured survey and document review
Stage 3Condition and circulation assessment
Stage 4Architectural and material concept
Stage 5Detailed drawings and cost coordination
Stage 6Contractor support and site inspection
