The clients are avid art collectors with great eye for detail. They presented us with a beautiful open space in the middle of the row hose with an over sized sky light directly over the opening. I have always been inspired by the great works of M.C Escher, so I put pencil to paper, or in this case mouse to AutoCad. A few days later, I presented the clients with my ideas and they loved the idea. The results are a single steel stringer floating stairs, with 2" thick maple wood treads, and side mounted clear glass railing. When you sit on the main floor, and look up at the skylight, you see what I sketched.

Custom, nature inspired dining room is accented with custom wall finishes, and coordinated with the over-all color plan in this contemporary residence.

The main staircase is anything but mainstream. No wood bannister or antiquated spindles in this construction. A modern marvel of glass, steel, with the warm wooden border keeping it from being clinical. M.C. Escher would approve!

The Hunter Sofa, long, low and luxe modern with The Bastille Chair, with its swinging ‘70s vibe and iconic modern style, will quickly become the favorite seats in the house. Add a little shimmer to the space with a special side table, cast in resin from the trunk of a tree and silver leafed, and to complete the room, Transition, the set of two panels, inspired by tessellation, a design using repeated shapes in a style reminiscent of Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher.
