STAIRS AND RAILS

Stairs are an important architectural feature in any multi-level home. More than a way to get from one floor to the next, they provide an opportunity to create a focal point and add sculptural elements that can set the tone for the surrounding spaces. We have worked with various custom fabricators to create these memorable stairways.

Opening up the walls along the stair provided an opportunity for a new, minimalist stair.
