Home design - large traditional home design idea

To ensure that the stairs ended (or began!) at just the right point at the edge of the patio, Archadeck of Central CT began building the stairs at the bottom and worked our way up. This is a reversal of the usual process, and it worked out just right. The new stairs meet the patio at a place called the "soldier course," which is the contrasting rim of brick around the patio edge. We installed Fortress LED lighting on the stair risers for safety after dark. Photos courtesy Archadeck of Central CT.

This recently built Bethesda home features two distinctive staircases that share a cohesive design language. The main staircase pairs natural wood treads with sleek steel horizontal rods, creating clean lines. The black wood newels and handrail create striking contrast with the lighter details. A custom spiral staircase echoes this aesthetic with jet-black metal triangular frames supporting natural wood treads. The geometric structure winds upward, maintaining the same material palette of warm wood and dark metal found throughout the home's vertical connections. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

Scott & Catherine Buley. HTT&T, High Tech Turf & Trees, LandscapeMakeover.biz, Rain Garden Nursery. BASALT stone bank "planted" at a 45 degree angle on this slope we created to maintain an enlarged seating area above with EcoLawn. The area immediately beneath this is one of 3 Tiered Rain Gardens, all connected by a natural looking Spring-Fed Creek. We are purposely growing moss on these stones to enhance the pre-existing natural stone look. These Basalt stones are further supported by heavy duty burlap. We've also interplanted this area with drought tolerant succulents, including Sedum.
