Is this going to be a concrete staircase or can you still change it to a steel stringer staircase? I have seen nice solutions where the glass disappeared into the metal stringer. We are currently working on this topic ourselves, and the problem could also be that you have to somewhat adapt to the craftsman you choose or their capabilities or willingness.
We have meanwhile abandoned a glass solution and are going with a simple metal railing, also because it was always back and forth with the glazier/metalworker; maybe it fits better with you.
None of your examples really appeal to me because glass is supposed to look light, but with the round posts or wide rails, it looks too bulky again.
I feel like I know every picture of glass stairs o_O but in the end, it always seemed too rough to me, considering the brackets and fastenings I saw.
Here is a picture with the recessed pane, but with a boring handrail. It would probably look better without it, but then again, that’s not practical.
I liked the second version best, only not with white steps, but in the end, we won’t do it like that anyway.
I also think that a continuous pane could be an idea; then you could be creative with the glass design.
How wide are the steps on your side?
