This remarkable freestanding elliptical staircase creates a spectacular architectural moment. Three flights rise gracefully through the house, featuring soft light-stained oak treads and handrail that blend seamlessly with the home's hardwood flooring. Crisp white stringers and risers provide a clean foundation, allowing the natural wood warmth to shine. The defining feature is the geometric black wrought-iron balusters. It is the contrast between organic curves and precise geometry, natural wood and forged metal, that creates a staircase that's both elegant and dramatic. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

The bathroom continues the same design language with large-format marble-style tiles, a glass walk-in shower, and a custom vanity with vertical wood detailing that adds warmth and texture. Clean geometry, hidden storage solutions, and premium materials come together to create a refined, modern urban interior that balances elegance and practicality.

This is a modern building design service for a commercial building built in Lalitpur, Nepal with a pent house on the uppermost floors. Based on modern architecture, the facade design has deviation from regularity using inclined geometries on the plane surfaces. In terms of building materials, the major structural framework is RCC and steel structure has been used for the building facade. Over the steel structural framework, ACP has been used as a cladding material.

The pool shape tapers to exaggerate the normal perspective. The round geometry of the lounge area continues through the pool as the first step and a shallow wet lounge space. Second phase is a roof for the fire pit patio that extends over the water.

Troia Light travertine forms over geological timescales through the slow accumulation of mineral-rich deposits, producing the warm ivory and shell-toned strata that define this rectangular apron-front natural stone vessel sink. The honed, partially filled surface presents a matte tactile plane across the basin interior, while the apron facade is hand-carved in low-relief botanical detail — a precision gesture that reads as architectural ornament rather than decoration. At 30 inches in length and 10 inches in depth, the geometry of this kitchen farmhouse sink occupies a minimalist space with deliberate visual weight, its zero-faucet-hole configuration allowing clean integration with wall-mount or counter-mount fittings.

This project embodies the essence of minimalist living while remaining warm and inviting. Clean architectural lines and a restrained palette create a serene backdrop where light and space are the main features. Carefully chosen furnishings and subtle textures soften the geometry, while natural materials bring balance and harmony. Every detail is intentional: open sightlines enhance the sense of flow, built-in storage maintains visual clarity, and understated decorative elements allow the architecture itself to take center stage. The result is a refined yet comfortable home, where simplicity is elevated into elegance and modern design meets everyday functionality.

By marrying calming, monotone patterns with free-form textures, Moniomi created a true space of rest and relaxation in this beach-front property. With an approachable yet bold vision, monochromatic geometry is incorporated into every element of this design. This space also dons specially custom-designed features such as the marble island and the powder bathroom, making this rental property truly one of a kind.

In this composition, restraint becomes the defining characteristic. The clean geometry of the horizontal black rod railing pairs effortlessly with warm wood elements, allowing the staircase to integrate with quiet confidence rather than overt display. The treads, newels, and handrail are finished in a refined taupe-brown stain that adds depth and softness, while crisp white risers introduce a subtle luminosity that enhances the surrounding architecture. The result is a staircase that feels effortless at first glance yet reveals itself as a carefully considered study in proportion, material balance, and disciplined design. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

Our studio was asked to give a 1985's living room a new modern look while working with the home's exterior design. We choose modern, clean, timeless fabrics that will look great for many years. The bright yellow pillows add a fun pop of color to the neutral-hued space. A great mirror over the fireplace adds geometry to the room, creating an attractive focal point. The classic updated cocktail table features a Greek key motif.

The pool shape tapers to exaggerate the normal perspective. The round geometry of the lounge area continues through the pool as the first step and a shallow wet lounge space. Second phase is a roof for the fire pit patio that extends over the water.

At a basic level, designing a floor plan is an exercise in geometry. Rectangles are the most commonly used shape. But every now and then, you have to know when to break that rule. The Gettysburg includes a classic example of a well-placed non-rectangle. Note the angled wall that separates the great room from the kitchen. See how it makes the great room bigger and more interesting without taking any useful space from the kitchen? And that’s not the only smart idea you’ll find in this home. But it is the only place where we cut a corner.

No greater compliment of a material is possible than when stone is selected for a historic property renovation within a home rich in tradition and with a celebrated past. This new feature stair addition to a private residence in Toronto, Canada, has an equally compelling story to tell. Originally envisioned as a wall-supported, cantilevered stone stair, the owner boldly accepted a unique solution for their showpiece element. The 19-tread stair would be designed with 550 lb. solid stone treads, and fully liberated from traditional supports and the adjacent rubble wall. To say, “it would float” is not an exaggeration. The stair would be designed as a monolithic beam spanning 16.5 feet, 10 feet high and 41 inches wide. Aesthetically bold, with a reduced tone from pure black, the basalt stone was the perfect contrast for the white modern interior of the home. The 3-1/2" tension cables played the most important role by resisting the large bending moment generated by the stone load and stair geometry. Fabrication required precise coordination and care to ensure perfect alignment of the interlocking key, and the corresponding cable holes. The fabrication challenge was achieving the highest level of accuracy in notching, coring, and replicating each tread identically. Expert precision and skill were key to nesting each tread in sequence and simultaneously with the strands. Meticulous alignment and exacting tolerance assured the true performance and aesthetics were delivered. Hydraulic post-tensioning pulled each cable to 120 kiloNewtons or 27,000 lbs, infusing strength and structural integrity. Removing the temporary support and testing was the last critical step—it was the first time the stone stair would be self-supporting. The “floating” stair is an ultimate achievement and example of innovation, material strength, fabrication quality, installation precision, and expert coordination. A perfect final chapter to a historical journey and modern ode to stone as structure.
