Based on the theme of the interior design, ‘nature vs industrial’, the designer chose a graphic leaf pattern for interior stair guardrails and balcony guardrails. The finished product was laser cut cold rolled steel, just sealed, sanded and clear coated to reveal the natural color of the cold rolled steel.

Full gut renovation and facade restoration of an historic 1850s wood-frame townhouse. The current owners found the building as a decaying, vacant SRO (single room occupancy) dwelling with approximately 9 rooming units. The building has been converted to a two-family house with an owner’s triplex over a garden-level rental. Due to the fact that the very little of the existing structure was serviceable and the change of occupancy necessitated major layout changes, nC2 was able to propose an especially creative and unconventional design for the triplex. This design centers around a continuous 2-run stair which connects the main living space on the parlor level to a family room on the second floor and, finally, to a studio space on the third, thus linking all of the public and semi-public spaces with a single architectural element. This scheme is further enhanced through the use of a wood-slat screen wall which functions as a guardrail for the stair as well as a light-filtering element tying all of the floors together, as well its culmination in a 5’ x 25’ skylight.

Minimalist Lines & Unobstructed Sightlines This view from the upper landing emphasizes the home’s commitment to light and transparency. By replacing traditional heavy balusters with a high-tension cable system, the design opens up the second floor, allowing natural and recessed light to flow freely between levels. Design Highlights: Modern Cable Guardrail: The stainless steel cable system features sleek, low-profile horizontal lines that offer maximum safety while maintaining a "barely-there" visual presence. Architectural Metalwork: The brushed silver posts provide a sturdy, geometric frame that leans into a sophisticated Modern Industrial aesthetic.Neutral Palette for Maximum Light: The use of warm-toned off-white walls and crisp white trim allows the metallic finishes and wood accents to pop, creating a bright and airy transition zone. Seamless Transition: The railing continues from the staircase onto the landing, creating a cohesive, professional look that wraps around the architectural void. Strategic Lighting: Well-placed recessed LED lighting eliminates shadows in the stairwell, highlighting the clean finish of the materials and the precision of the cable installation.
