Mid-sized Blue Staircase Design Ideas
Lee Edwards - residential designSituated on the west slope of Mt. Baker Ridge, this remodel takes a contemporary view on traditional elements to maximize space, lightness and spectacular views of downtown Seattle and Puget Sound. We were approached by Vertical Construction Group to help a client bring their 1906 craftsman into the 21st century. The original home had many redeeming qualities that were unfortunately compromised by an early 2000’s renovation. This left the new homeowners with awkward and unusable spaces. After studying numerous space plans and roofline modifications, we were able to create quality interior and exterior spaces that reflected our client’s needs and design sensibilities. The resulting master suite, living space, roof deck(s) and re-invented kitchen are great examples of a successful collaboration between homeowner and design and build teams.
Garden MetalworkDr. Robin Bagby wanted a combination rail and gate that could be closed off at the top of the steps or on the wall. We built this fun rail and gate for her that added some fun to the stairs.
GC HandrailCable handrail system in Anchorage, Alaska. Homeowner purchased our system and installed it himself. We provide the posts and cables cut to length. You just have to buy the top cap. We have over 40 videos of step by step, how to install. We also rent the tools necessary for tensioning and finishing the cables.
hansen innenarchitekturWir ließen das vorhandene Geländer demontieren und stattdessen einen Handlauf an der Außenwand anbringen. Die Antritte der Stufen wurden mit Platten geschlossen und die gesamte Treppe weiß lackiert. Auf den Stufen liegen auf Maß gefertigte Stufenmatten aus grauem Teppichboden. Sie sorgen nicht nur für eine Geräuschminderung beim Begehen, sie dämpfen auch den Tritt und erhöhen so den Gehkomfort. Einbaustrahler an jeder zweiten Stufe in der Außenwange beleuchten die Treppe, ohne zu blenden. Das Treppenauge wurde mit einer U-förmigen Gipskartonwand geschlossen. Die so entstandene Nische bietet Platz für einen raumhohen Garderobenschrank und ein offenes Regal für Bücher. Gleichzeitig werden so die unterschiedlichen Tiefen der beiden Seiten überspielt. Der Grauton der Schrankfronten ist – ebenso wie die Griffe – angepasst an die vorhandenen Schränke im Eingangsbereich. Durch eine leicht strukturierte Tapete in Grautönen setzt sich das Treppenhaus optisch ab und bildet eine Einheit.
High Plains Architects, P.C.The Porch House sits perched overlooking a stretch of the Yellowstone River valley. With an expansive view of the majestic Beartooth Mountain Range and its close proximity to renowned fishing on Montana’s Stillwater River you have the beginnings of a great Montana retreat. This structural insulated panel (SIP) home effortlessly fuses its sustainable features with carefully executed design choices into a modest 1,200 square feet. The SIPs provide a robust, insulated envelope while maintaining optimal interior comfort with minimal effort during all seasons. A twenty foot vaulted ceiling and open loft plan aided by proper window and ceiling fan placement provide efficient cross and stack ventilation. A custom square spiral stair, hiding a wine cellar access at its base, opens onto a loft overlooking the vaulted living room through a glass railing with an apparent Nordic flare. The “porch” on the Porch House wraps 75% of the house affording unobstructed views in all directions. It is clad in rusted cold-rolled steel bands of varying widths with patterned steel “scales” at each gable end. The steel roof connects to a 3,600 gallon rainwater collection system in the crawlspace for site irrigation and added fire protection given the remote nature of the site. Though it is quite literally at the end of the road, the Porch House is the beginning of many new adventures for its owners.
