A staircase is so much more than circulation. It provides a space to create dramatic interior architecture, a place for design to carve into, where a staircase can either embrace or stand as its own design piece. In this custom stair and railing design, completed in January 2020, we wanted a grand statement for the two-story foyer. With walls wrapped in a modern wainscoting, the staircase is a sleek combination of black metal balusters and honey stained millwork. Open stair treads of white oak were custom stained to match the engineered wide plank floors. Each riser painted white, to offset and highlight the ascent to a U-shaped loft and hallway above. The black interior doors and white painted walls enhance the subtle color of the wood, and the oversized black metal chandelier lends a classic and modern feel. The staircase is created with several “zones”: from the second story, a panoramic view is offered from the second story loft and surrounding hallway. The full height of the home is revealed and the detail of our black metal pendant can be admired in close view. At the main level, our staircase lands facing the dining room entrance, and is flanked by wall sconces set within the wainscoting. It is a formal landing spot with views to the front entrance as well as the backyard patio and pool. And in the lower level, the open stair system creates continuity and elegance as the staircase ends at the custom home bar and wine storage. The view back up from the bottom reveals a comprehensive open system to delight its family, both young and old!

When a world class sailing champion approached us to design a Newport home for his family, with lodging for his sailing crew, we set out to create a clean, light-filled modern home that would integrate with the natural surroundings of the waterfront property, and respect the character of the historic district. Our approach was to make the marine landscape an integral feature throughout the home. One hundred eighty degree views of the ocean from the top floors are the result of the pinwheel massing. The home is designed as an extension of the curvilinear approach to the property through the woods and reflects the gentle undulating waterline of the adjacent saltwater marsh. Floodplain regulations dictated that the primary occupied spaces be located significantly above grade; accordingly, we designed the first and second floors on a stone “plinth” above a walk-out basement with ample storage for sailing equipment. The curved stone base slopes to grade and houses the shallow entry stair, while the same stone clads the interior’s vertical core to the roof, along which the wood, glass and stainless steel stair ascends to the upper level. One critical programmatic requirement was enough sleeping space for the sailing crew, and informal party spaces for the end of race-day gatherings. The private master suite is situated on one side of the public central volume, giving the homeowners views of approaching visitors. A “bedroom bar,” designed to accommodate a full house of guests, emerges from the other side of the central volume, and serves as a backdrop for the infinity pool and the cove beyond. Also essential to the design process was ecological sensitivity and stewardship. The wetlands of the adjacent saltwater marsh were designed to be restored; an extensive geo-thermal heating and cooling system was implemented; low carbon footprint materials and permeable surfaces were used where possible. Native and non-invasive plant species were utilized in the landscape. The abundance of windows and glass railings maximize views of the landscape, and, in deference to the adjacent bird sanctuary, bird-friendly glazing was used throughout.

Direction Ventabren, un petit village situé à proximité d’Aix-en-Provence pour découvrir un projet tout frais récemment livré par notre agence MCH Provence. Les propriétaires de cette résidence secondaire ont acheté la maison sur plan et ont fait appel à nos équipes pour la transformer en un lieu chaleureux et #convivial, idéal pour les réunions familiales. Notre architecte ayant dessiné les cloisons et conçu les plans intérieurs de la maison, il était absolument nécessaire de suivre le chantier de près afin de s’assurer de la bonne exécution des travaux par le constructeur. L’électricité, le placo et les sols ayant été faits, nous avons pris plaisir à jouer avec les couleurs et aménager les différents espaces. Zoom sur les travaux réalisés : - Réalisation des peintures Farrow & Ball - Pose de la cuisine IKEA - Dessin et réalisation des menuiseries sur mesure (claustra, escalier, table haute, placards et bibliothèque avec banc intégré, et têtes de lit des différentes chambres). - Pose de la robinetterie, des faïences, des cabines de douche et meubles de salle de bain.

We opened up the space by creating a open tread staircase in this Toronto loft. We wanted to keep the touch of glam so went with a custom satin brass detail on the staircase. We finished the room off with soft sheers, gold details, and a black and white gallery wall.

Tradition Homes, voted Best Builder in 2013, allowed us to bring their vision to life in this gorgeous and authentic modern home in the heart of Arlington; Century Stair went beyond aesthetics by using durable materials and applying excellent craft and precision throughout the design, build and installation process. This iron & wood post-to-post staircase contains the following parts: satin black (5/8" radius) tubular balusters, ebony-stained (Duraseal), 3 1/2 x 3 1/2" square oak newels with chamfered tops, poplar stringers, 1" square/contemporary oak treads, and ebony-stained custom hand rails.
