What is changing
The house had a closed spiral stair. It is being replaced with separate cantilevered treads, so each step reads as one floating slab and the stairwell opens up.
Why UHPC
A floating tread is held at one end only, so it has to be slim and very strong at the same time. UHPC is far denser and stronger than ordinary concrete, which is what makes a tread like this possible.
