Do you have a laneway that is wasting away? Do you subscribe to the view that laneway houses are only for extra use, like home offices? Not anymore! Royal Oak Railing & Stair, a company that has been crafting custom staircases and railings since 1987, has recently been featured in Azure Magazine. This magazine, which caters to design professionals with an interest in contemporary architecture and interior design, published a feature on the creative laneway house of Toronto-based architecture firm Williamson Williamson.

The article, titled “A Toronto Laneway House Perfectly Fits A Family of Five”, highlighted the creative work of Williamson Williamson and the custom staircases and railings crafted by Royal Oak Railing & Stair. Like any successful laneway project, this one maximized every inch of space to provide enough room for a large family. The article describes the clever work of Williamson Williamson, which included sinking the main bedroom underground and carving out a light well to create a spa-like environment with white oak millwork. The ensuite is covered in grey porcelain tile and brown cabinet doors giving the bathroom an elevated, contemporary feel.


“Williamson Williamson weaves magic into the city fabric with a Toronto laneway house in a bold red brick.”

The feature article in Azure magazine also discussed the key role that Royal Oak Railing & Stair played in the project. Having crafted custom staircases and railings for over 30 years, no one is better suited for this kind of work than Royal Oak Railing & Stair. The team provided a clever combination of materials for the solid but transparent staircase. The result is a unique design that ties together the entire space.

The article also showcases Royal Oak Railing & Stair’s commitment to quality craftsmanship in custom staircases and railings. Working with Williamson Williamson on this project has been an exciting experience. We are proud to have been part of a creative laneway house that has inspired many.

Our custom staircase and railing design are making news around the world, and we couldn’t be happier! The Z-shaped railing, with its painted millwork and solid yet light-filled construction, was perfect for the luxury feel of the home. The article stressed that details like the staircase could make or break a laneway space, and our team certainly didn’t disappoint!
