Level Two: The elevator column, at left, is clad with the same stone veneer as the home's exterior. We designed interior doors in American white birch and, feature doors (like the elevator and wine cave doors) have stainless steel inserts to echo the steel entry door and steel railings and stringers of the staircase. We custom designed a two-tier chandelier to hang from the ceiling of level three and drop through the wrapped staircase into level two. Its sparkling, crystal pendants, dramatically suspended over the vast entry foyer, are framed within the central windows on levels three and two when viewed from outside the home.
