The combination of the floating staircase, the natural light, and the inviting seating area make the entrance of this home truly impressive.As you go up the stairs, you'll be amazed by the bright sunlight coming in through nine big windows, lighting up the whole area. But that's not all - there's also a cozy seating area underneath the staircase. This smart use of space creates a comfortable corner where you can read or unwind.

Basement reading nook with built-in shelves beneath the staircase.

View from Central Hall looking towards foyer, home office, staircase, and double-door entry.

Previously just a door off a hall, this attic access has been transformed into a beautiful stairway. Featuring tread lighting and shiplap surround, it invites you up to play!

This monumental-floating staircase is set in a square space that rises through the home’s full height (three levels) where 4” oak treads are gracefully supported by black-painted solid stringers; these cantilevered stringers and the absence of risers allows for the natural light to inundate all surrounding interior spaces, making this staircase a wonderful architectural focal point.

This tiny house is a remodel project on a house with two bedrooms, plus a sleeping loft, as photographed. It was originally built in the 1970's, converted to serve as an Air BnB in a resort community. It is in-the-works to remodel again, this time coming up to current building codes including a conventional switchback stair and full bath on each floor. Upon completion it will become a plan for sale on the website Down Home Plans.

This full basement renovation included adding a mudroom area, media room, a bedroom, a full bathroom, a game room, a kitchen, a gym and a beautiful custom wine cellar. Our clients are a family that is growing, and with a new baby, they wanted a comfortable place for family to stay when they visited, as well as space to spend time themselves. They also wanted an area that was easy to access from the pool for entertaining, grabbing snacks and using a new full pool bath.We never treat a basement as a second-class area of the house. Wood beams, customized details, moldings, built-ins, beadboard and wainscoting give the lower level main-floor style. There’s just as much custom millwork as you’d see in the formal spaces upstairs. We’re especially proud of the wine cellar, the media built-ins, the customized details on the island, the custom cubbies in the mudroom and the relaxing flow throughout the entire space.
