I built the floor and stairs around the same time. Before the floorboards went in I dug channels for some of the wires. The controller is on the left side and is the "brains" of the operation. It will be covered up by a small platform in a later step.
The stairs were complicated. The client wanted a spiral staircase in this room. I opted for them to go along the left side, on top of the controller. Some of the original ideas I had remained through a variety of iterations. The main thing I wanted was a wooden tread, with cast-iron look for the metal parts. So I created a bunch of parts I'd need to assemble each step.
When assembled, I tested a couple different colors and styles. The steps look the part:
I built a jig to secure the pole while assemblig the stairs.
There are slight holes to the right along the wood which will accomodate the ballusters and railing.
Some doodling to show where objects will generall be placed. The green represents the hanging Ray Story lamps:
