Haines, Alaska

The stairs and bookshelves were conceived by the architects and detailed and fabricated by the owner and contractor using steel and stained glulam beams. The obscure glass window in the bookshelf admits light into the master bathroom. The stained concrete floor has hydronic heat, but the Tulikivi fireplace to the left provides most of the winter heating. Grab a book on your way upstairs to bed!
