This document provides a case study of a 17th century barn conversion in South Creake, Norfolk that features a Blanc de Bierges spiral staircase. The architect, Robert Lord, suggested the spiral staircase as it would better suit the proportions of the hallway and maximize light. The creamy-buff colored staircase complements the chalk walls and becomes a feature. The barn conversion project won architectural awards and the Blanc de Bierges staircase augments the setting perfectly.
