Step 2:
The circular wall that holds up the stairs is made from 5" foam blocks that leave a 3" vertical and horizontal void for concrete and rebar. These styrofoam block forms are
made in Mexico. I also used them for most of the walls in the house.
Bars to hold the steps had to be placed in this wall as it was built, so I needed to know exactly where to place them so each step would have a rebar in tension off the
wall. By drawing this staircase in 3/d (sketchup) , I could place the bars exactly. The ramp/steps
We poured the ramp and steps 6 months after the wall was built.

Step 6: Steps
The ramp support forms get rotated to the top of the ramp and become riser forms.
Because the forms stack on each other at the main tube, all I had to do was level them and set them at my marks on the wall that came from the sketchup drawing a year
earlier.

Step 7: Finish
A plaster finish on the wall and you have one solid staircase, with less than 1/8" deviation between step rise and run.
Someday we might cap the steps with tile or wood, but they look very sculptural as is.
