Quezada Architecture Oops... sorry for the delayed response on these... just saw them. The color we used throughout was "swiss coffee". A great go-to shade of white.
Melody Baker How are the treads attached to the stringers? Are the stringers notched or is there some sort of hardware? Thank you in advance for your answer!
Quezada Architecture The main stairs stringers are existing, we just replaced the treads. The stringers are not notched as the treads are attached with a custom steel bracket that was manufactured back in the 50s.
Quezada Architecture The lamps were bought at a furniture store in San Francisco called Limn. Sorry... Can't remember the manufacturer but they are Italian and were quite reasonably priced for being made of silk.

This dining room seems as though you could move a few elements around and turn it into a loading dock. Architects have learned a lot about scale and how to adapt it to living spaces from converted factory spaces.
This wide-open space looks like it might have had a past life as a loading dock, but floating built-ins, beautiful wood panels, and tubular chairs and finishes give it a rich look.

... It's a dining room with an intimacy aided by its remove from the living room, from both the level change and the wall dividing the two spaces. Note how the ascent of the stairs follows the upward angle of the roof.
Here is another iconic machine-age tubular chair, the Brno Chair by Mies van der Rohe. He designed the chair in 1930, the same year he became the director of the Bauhaus.
Open stairs, minimal design, lots of natural wood and, you guessed it, natural light galore. This is modern Northern California minimalism at its best.
While the wood paneling is nice, the touch that really makes this room is the recessed lighting and the cement accent. That combination works really nicely, and make the paneled wall feel like a solid block.
