This custom-built staircase connects the new family room to the existing kitchen and is offset by a square newel post. The red oak floor is covered with a carpet tread. What started as an addition project turned into a full house remodel in this Modern Craftsman home in Narberth, PA. The addition included the creation of a sitting room, family room, mudroom and third floor. As we moved to the rest of the home, we designed and built a custom staircase to connect the family room to the existing kitchen. We laid red oak flooring with a mahogany inlay throughout house. Another central feature of this is home is all the built-in storage. We used or created every nook for seating and storage throughout the house, as you can see in the family room, dining area, staircase landing, bedroom and bathrooms. Custom wainscoting and trim are everywhere you look, and gives a clean, polished look to this warm house.

Staircase was already there, we just created custom posts to match existing staircase and to meet code. Instead of just slapping in some standard posts, we customized these to really go well in the space.

Acoustics from exposed hardwood floors are managed via upholstered furniture, window treatments and on the stair treads. Brass lighting fixtures impart an element of contrast.

Hawaiian mango locally sourced for the stair treads, sanded so its buttery smooth and warm on your feet. This is a storage staircase with closet and bookshelf that faces the seating area. no space is waisted. I love working with clients that have ideas that I have been waiting to bring to life. All of the owner requests were things I had been wanting to try in an Oasis model. The table and seating area in the circle window bump out that normally had a bar spanning the window; the round tub with the rounded tiled wall instead of a typical angled corner shower; an extended loft making a big semi circle window possible that follows the already curved roof. These were all ideas that I just loved and was happy to figure out. I love how different each unit can turn out to fit someones personality. The Oasis model is known for its giant round window and shower bump-out as well as 3 roof sections (one of which is curved). The Oasis is built on an 8x24' trailer. We build these tiny homes on the Big Island of Hawaii and ship them throughout the Hawaiian Islands.

We underpinned the basement to achieve 8' ceilings but as requested by our clients we did not underpin into the original mechanical room. We also installed a new solid wood stair case and drywall finished the load bearing column.

We had the wonderful opportunity to build this sophisticated staircase in one of the state-of-the-art Fitness Center offered by a very discerning golf community in Loudoun County; we demonstrate with this recent sample our superior craftsmanship and expertise in designing and building this fine custom-crafted stairway. Our design/manufacturing team was able to bring to life blueprints provided to the selected builder; it matches perfectly the designer’s goal to create a setting of refined and relaxed elegance.
