Architect: Amanda Martocchio Architecture & Design Photography: Michael Moran Project Year:2016 This LEED-certified project was a substantial rebuild of a 1960's home, preserving the original foundation to the extent possible, with a small amount of new area, a reconfigured floor plan, and newly envisioned massing. The design is simple and modern, with floor to ceiling glazing along the rear, connecting the interior living spaces to the landscape. The design process was informed by building science best practices, including solar orientation, triple glazing, rain-screen exterior cladding, and a thermal envelope that far exceeds code requirements.

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.

Space constraints and the homeowners' desire for a sleek, sturdy staircase drove the design of this highly custom solution. Instead of a traditional landing at the corner, the first two steps are winders that navigate the turn while meeting code requirements and conserving space. The open-riser design maintains visual lightness, while horizontal metal balusters, thick oak treads, white painted double stringers, and a modern oak handrail complete the clean, contemporary aesthetic. The result is a staircase that proves spatial challenges can inspire elegant solutions. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

This project the customer wanted to remove the old white balusters and install our 9/16” inch pc18/2 and 9/16” inch pc18/2 in Old World Copper color. While measuring for her baluster replacement we noticed that there was a section of handrail missing in a critical section at the bottom of the stairs. So along with the baluster replacement we installed a wall style handrail to match the existing handrail and tie it into the bottom newel post and the top newel post. And as you can see it looks like it has been installed there since the house was built. And of course this not only makes these stairs Building Code compliant but most importantly makes it safer for the homeowner to use.

1/2" thick clear tempered glass panels mounted on the side using stainless steel stand-offs. Code required more connectors than I originally wanted. It came out very solid. Leaves the wall in the back open for art work. Every house should have a gallery.
