土間の奥から、正面の玄関ドアと2階を見た様子。2階とは吹き抜けで繋がっており、家中どこに居ても家族の声が聞こえます。これだけ開放的な空間でも、「暑さや寒さはほとんど感じない、年中一定の心地よさ」に包まれているそうです。

The client’s brief was to create a space reminiscent of their beloved downtown Chicago industrial loft, in a rural farm setting, while incorporating their unique collection of vintage and architectural salvage. The result is a custom designed space that blends life on the farm with an industrial sensibility. The new house is located on approximately the same footprint as the original farm house on the property. Barely visible from the road due to the protection of conifer trees and a long driveway, the house sits on the edge of a field with views of the neighbouring 60 acre farm and creek that runs along the length of the property. The main level open living space is conceived as a transparent social hub for viewing the landscape. Large sliding glass doors create strong visual connections with an adjacent barn on one end and a mature black walnut tree on the other. The house is situated to optimize views, while at the same time protecting occupants from blazing summer sun and stiff winter winds. The wall to wall sliding doors on the south side of the main living space provide expansive views to the creek, and allow for breezes to flow throughout. The wrap around aluminum louvered sun shade tempers the sun. The subdued exterior material palette is defined by horizontal wood siding, standing seam metal roofing and large format polished concrete blocks. The interiors were driven by the owners’ desire to have a home that would properly feature their unique vintage collection, and yet have a modern open layout. Polished concrete floors and steel beams on the main level set the industrial tone and are paired with a stainless steel island counter top, backsplash and industrial range hood in the kitchen. An old drinking fountain is built-in to the mudroom millwork, carefully restored bi-parting doors frame the library entrance, and a vibrant antique stained glass panel is set into the foyer wall allowing diffused coloured light to spill into the hallway. Upstairs, refurbished claw foot tubs are situated to view the landscape. The double height library with mezzanine serves as a prominent feature and quiet retreat for the residents. The white oak millwork exquisitely displays the homeowners’ vast collection of books and manuscripts. The material palette is complemented by steel counter tops, stainless steel ladder hardware and matte black metal mezzanine guards. The stairs carry the same language, with white oak open risers and stainless steel woven wire mesh panels set into a matte black steel frame. The overall effect is a truly sublime blend of an industrial modern aesthetic punctuated by personal elements of the owners’ storied life. Photography: James Brittain

Product details This staircase brings an element of femininity to an industrial space. She is strong and bold, yet warm and elegant. The choice of stringer colour means she affiliates with the solid strength of the concrete floor, yet warmly invites you from one floor to the next on her timber treads. How we achieved this look: - Steel centre spine staircase with the tread carriers from 10mm thick plate that were rebated into underside of timber treads. - Top mounting plate was 10mm steel plate, concealed behind timber face of the void. - Carefully selected 60mm thick blackbutt laminated treads that were cut with an angled detail to accommodate the stringer. - Treads were sanded and Bona-antislip treatment was applied. - Custom 12mm toughed clear safety glass balustrading was templated and drafted for a perfect fit. - Balustrading was face mounted using 316 stainless steel standoffs. - Continuous handrail fabricated from 50 x 10mm 316 stainless steel and secured using bolt through style brackets. - All joins to be fully welded and polished. - All stainless steel polished to a satin finish. - Stringer Powder coated in Duratec Silver Pearl Satin Quotation provided on a per project basis. As all of our staircases are custom made, prices will vary depending on details and finishes chosen.

The staircase is the focal point of the home. Chunky floating open treads, blackened steel, and continuous metal rods make for functional and sculptural circulation. Skylights aligned above the staircase illuminate the home and create unique shadow patterns that contribute to the artistic style of the home.
