This staircase makes a bold design statement through restraint and precision. Thick squared-off white oak treads appear to float between dramatic, black-painted stringers, while horizontal 1/2" round bars create an open, minimal balustrade. The uniform open risers allow natural light to cascade down to the basement level, transforming the stairwell into a light-transmitting vertical shaft. The design thoughtfully responds to the surrounding spaces, connecting levels without interrupting sightlines or blocking light flow. The result is a staircase that feels almost sculptural in its simplicity, proving that sometimes less truly is more. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

Living room - traditional living room idea in Chicago

Tabor Hill is mostly ledge, and if it isn't ledge, it is sloping steeply to a large reservoir. The area is mostly oaks, thickly growing, with long, tall trunks. The client wanted a place for their children to play soccer. Instead of clear-cutting a lawn area in the upper part of the yard, above the grade of the house, we sensitively left a fringe of trees (some with perfect spacing for hammocks!), engineered and shaped the soil for rain-water capturing, and buried power lines for a clean finish. The site is unirrigated and planted with a fescue mix for shade.
