Staircase - mid-sized modern wooden straight metal railing staircase idea in New York with wooden risers

Portilla Design

Wanting to ensure accessibility and functionality of their new home, the homeowners opted to include both a home elevator and dumbwaiter into their design. The elevator pairs fully automatic, sleek, stainless steel side sliding doors with anodized aluminum fixtures. Not only adding style but nearly “hands free” access to every level of the home. The cab’s interior was custom finished by the general contractor to match the home’s modern simplicity design. The floor-loading dumbwaiter allows for heavier items to be transported with more ease from the wine cellar to the main floor. The stainless-steel finish and corresponding fixtures tie in flawlessly with the elevator and the decor of the home. This Modern Marvel will make the perfect home for multigeneration living for years to come.

The soft fabric of the awning provides a lovely contrast to the thick Douglas Fir pergola posts and solid stainless steel brackets. Each strip is adjustable for creating the perfect sun-shade balance.

The flowers of a yellow canna lily evoke the dazzling sunny days typical of tropical isles and southern climes where sultry warm breezes calm and relax even the most harried. Ideal gracing the walls of a spa or salon by any southern sea.
