Time for a new door.

A grand entrance begins with this sweeping curved staircase that commands attention the moment you step inside. Rich oak treads and a flowing handrail trace an elegant arc through the multi-level space, while metal balusters with intricate gothic knuckle details add a touch of refined craftsmanship. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the stairway with natural light, creating dramatic shadows that shift throughout the day and emphasize the sculptural beauty of the curve. Working closely with the owner, a hands-on engineer, our design and manufacturing teams rose to the challenge of this custom home. Every detail was carefully calibrated: precise dimensions, optimal clearances, flawless finishes, and installation specifications that honored both the architectural vision and structural requirements. The result is a staircase that's not just functional, but a true centerpiece that celebrates the marriage of wood, metal, and light. 1976-2025 © Century Stair Company

This bathroom remodel was designed to feel bright and refreshing, featuring a wood acorn finish vanity with a sleek white quartz countertop and elegant brass fixtures that add warmth and contrast. The shower showcases striking green ceramic mosaic tile, paired with a Carrara marble mosaic flooring inside the shower for added texture and visual interest, while white Calacatta Oro porcelain tiles define the main bathroom floor for a clean, seamless finish. A glass skylight above fills the space with natural light, and the glass shower enclosure keeps the layout open and airy, creating a calm and polished everyday retreat.
