Drawing on utility farm buildings, the design of this house is direct in it’s form and organization. Located in a dense St. Paul neighborhood on a narrow 39’ wide lot, the house draws equally from it’s turn of the century neighbors for scale and materiality. The 20’ wide shotgun structure allowed the house to be pushed to the east, opening up the west wall for large windows and the opportunity for an outdoor room. This changed what is normally “nowhere” space between houses into an active extension of the home used to BBQ, play catch, and afford pleasant transition from front to back. Life plays out in the home within three space, the living/dining, the kitchen/breakfast, and the porch/outdoor room. All three are used daily either actively or borrowed. Each is clearly defined and connected to the others through the careful placement or absence of walls or corners, and made more expansive by increased height, defined sightlines, and exposed structure Architect: Ben Awes AIA

Located near the wooded enclave of Purchase, Westchester County, NY. This crisp, modernist, multi-level, multi-bedroom house draws in natural light from large sliding door partitions and oversized picture windows. The work on the main floor of this prestigious house included the Luxury Kitchen with its clean, minimalist glass and wood cabinetry, touch-open drawers and note the absence of handles and pulls on the upper and lower cabinets, lending itself to a sleek Italian design feel. The interior stonework with brick-sized slate stone pieces brought the exterior design inside the home, which gave it, a beautiful rustic contrast. Large square stone tile floors run throughout the open living room and into the dining room spaces, giving a monolithic lustrous design. Work also included built-in shelves in the dining room and a large, aluminum-clad hearth-style fireplace.

A dramatic transformation in an early 20th century home brought into the new millennium by a young and eclectic owner. A new fireplace adds to the warmth and ambiance to a space filled with warm spice colors and African pieces collected through many travels. The clean face gas burning unit is the Bayport model from Kozy Heat finished with a Beveled front in Rust. The brick is new to the home and is painted white to limit the rustic feel but still maintain it's classic look. A slate hearth and a reclaimed wood mantel from a 100 year old barn compliment the design and anchor the design in tradition.

This innovative three-story staircase showcases engineering and design in perfect harmony. Each level cantilevers from two central spine beams, creating a floating effect that spans the entire vertical space. Thick dark-stained oak treads appear to hover without visible support, while the absence of risers maintains complete transparency. The defining feature is the glass landings at each level. Combined with the open-riser design, these transparent platforms allow natural light to cascade freely through the stairwell and into adjacent living areas. The result is an ultra-modern staircase that transforms vertical circulation into a study of light and space. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company
