Under the stairs, the base board was raised and updated with steel plate to create a camouflage storage space for bikes, while the sleek cabinet above was added to display mementos and store other belongings that originally had no home. Photo Credit: Mark Woods

The client wanted a unique railing design, they liked our organic work but wanted something a little more contemporary. The "tree" design is all forged and fabricated from flat bar and the horizontal rails are round stock. We used our cap rail which we forge in house.

Modern family loft in Boston. New walnut stair treads lead up to the master suite. A wall separating the master bedroom from the double height living space was replaced with a folding glass door to open the bedroom to the living space while still allowing for both visual and acoustical privacy. Surfaces built into the new railing atop the stair create a functional work area with a fantastic view and clear shot to the play space below. The baby nursery below now includes transom windows to share light from the open space. Photos by Eric Roth. Construction by Ralph S. Osmond Company.

Douglas fir treads and risers on the lower ground floor stair run into a section of matching panelling and flooring. This helps visually connect the more traditional and contemporary parts of the house. Photographer: Nick Smith

Riverside Residence

Moore Architects, PCMoore Architects, PC
The new house sits back from the suburban road, a pipe-stem lot hidden in the trees. The owner/building had requested a modern, clean statement of his residence. A single rectangular volume houses the main program: living, dining, kitchen to the north, garage, private bedrooms and baths to the south. Secondary building blocks attached to the west and east faces contain special places: entry, stair, music room and master bath. The double height living room with full height corner windows erodes the solidity of the house, opening it to the outside. The porch, beyond the living room, stretches the house into the landscape, the transition anchored with the double-fronted fireplace. The modern vocabulary of the house is a careful delineation of the parts - cantilevering roofs lift and extend beyond the planar stucco, siding and glazed wall surfaces. Where the house meets ground, crushed stone along the perimeter base mimics the roof lines above, the sharply defined edges of lawn held away from the foundation. The open steel stair stands separate from adjacent walls. Kitchen and bathroom cabinets are objects in space - visually (and where possible, physically) disengaged from ceiling, wall and floor. It's the movement through the volumes of space, along surfaces, and out into the landscape, that unifies the house.

Located in The Woodlands, Texas, this project returns to the original master planning principles of the community. Located in a flood plain, the house is developed as an isolated island in the mature trees, mimimizing disruption to the natural site. The house is designed as a series of gallery type spaces for the owner’s art collection. Living spaces are integrated with the outdoors and the house has a feeling of calm serenity.
