Staircase – Refined Detailing & Open Vertical Flow | Second Floor Addition, Toronto This view highlights the staircase as a refined architectural element within the second floor addition, carefully designed to maintain openness while providing a safe, intuitive transition between levels. The stair integrates seamlessly into the home’s overall layout, reinforcing continuity between the main floor and the newly added upper level. The custom railing system combines transparent glass panels with a continuous oak handrail and black metal channel detailing, striking a balance between warmth and modern contrast. The glass keeps sightlines open and allows natural light to pass through the stairwell, preventing the space from feeling enclosed or heavy. From a technical perspective, the staircase required precise coordination between structure, railing installation, and finish detailing to meet current building code requirements while maintaining a clean, minimalist aesthetic. The result is a staircase that feels intentional, durable, and visually aligned with the rest of the full-home transformation.

A modern home with traditional forms and straightforward detailing combines painted brick, lap siding and antique wood structural elements to create a one-of-a-kind home on a 2.4 acre relatively flat lot. A circular drive partially screened by low brick walls and strategically placed landscaping brings you onto the site where one can make a stop at the porte-cochère drop off on their way to the garage or continue to a welcoming front porch. This 2-story home has 5 bedrooms and 5 ½ baths with 6,125 sq. ft. of conditioned spaces and a total of 9,731 sq. ft. under roof. As you enter an intimate sized foyer, there’s a dining room to the right that opens to the kitchen and features a large picture window facing the front yard with a ceiling with white oak beams. Straight ahead you’re led to a living room that features a pre-cast stone fireplace mantle and painted coffered ceilings. It is part of a great room with a kitchen and large island that continues with white oak accents in some of the cabinetry. Pairs of arched openings and a pocket door flank each end of the room leading to a scullery kitchen on one end and to guest bedroom and master bedroom suites on the other. The outdoor cooking and living areas are conveniently located thru French doors right off the great room and a game room that is part of the house that extends into the back yard providing great access and views to a pool and a basketball sport court. An outdoor fireplace adds a cozy touch to a seating area that is next to the outdoor cooking and dining area. The master bedroom suite is positioned to take advantage of views to the backyard and also has access to a back porch. Easy access is provided to a well-appointed master bath that leads to his and her closets. Upstairs there are 3 more bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and walk-in closets. An office is also provided which is positioned above the dining room below so that it shares the continuation of the large picture window idea that affords beautiful views of the front yard and a lake across the street. A small common area located off the stair landing provides a place for the kids to hang out.

This sleek contemporary staircase features robust natural wood newels supporting jet-black horizontal metal rods that create clean, unobstructed sightlines. A continuous modern handrail flows seamlessly across multiple levels, while stained treads are custom-matched to the home's hardwood flooring for visual continuity throughout the space. The dark treads complement the metal rods, while the white risers create defining contrast. The combination of railing and steps creates an appealing balance between strength and openness, transforming the staircase into a focal point that anchors the entry without overwhelming it. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

The site is at Holar 6, 10 min. south of Stykkishólmur in Vest-Iceland. The significant cascades of the natural formation of the mountainous ridges in the landscape gave the inspirasjon for the setting of the house. Breathtaking scenery in practically all directions, each different from the others, called for different focus towards each of the spectacular views. Visiting the site, an Eagle feather was revealed, giving an inspiration for the concept of the house. Therefore the house rests on columns, allowing the nature to flow beneath it, as an Eagle is making a short visit, ready to leave anytime. In that sense the 5th elevation is created, the underneath of the house, making it important to treat that elevation with the same materials and respect as the others. The Kebony Clear wooden cladding is therefore carried out in a trapeze formation under the house, making the two wooden elements homogeneous. Similar treatment goes for the Alucoil-cladding with as well continues under the house, reflecting the mountainous landscape all around it. The floors and bathroom walls are covered with the Icelandic Bluestone (Blágrýti). The wooden cladding is continued inside the house, giving important continuity, but on the inside made as Veneer cladded Pine, pretreated to match with the Kebony Clear after having reached its gray and even patina in some years. The corridor, leading to the bedrooms has 4 glazed round floor windows giving contact to the ground when passing by. The long bay-window is emphasizing the contact to the small forrest towards north. The trapeze-forms shaping the library and the kitchen are inspired by the old camera-lenses, catching the view through the trapeze-objective.
