Staircase - cottage staircase idea in San Francisco

With dual steel stringers and a steel balustrade all painted black, this staircase makes a real bold statement inside the front entrance. The timber treads and handrail ties the stairs in with the timber flooring and makes a great contrast to the black steelwork.

The Deschutes House is located on an urban site facing the Deschutes River in Bend, Oregon. The architectural massing of the house has been wrapped around a south-facing, grassy courtyard, with dramatic 2nd story spaces cantilevered toward the river. The main living space is completely transparent to the river on one side and to the courtyard on the other side, providing two entirely different views from the room. The living ceiling plane has enlivened by CNC-milled wood-strip ceiling panels, with variegated shapes inspired by landscape morphology. The house is clad with a two different types of siding: tightly spaced Western red cedar and corrugated metal siding. The warm tones of the wood contrast nicely with the cool tones of the metal siding and metal roofing. The fireplace chimney is clad in Montana ledgestone with a combination of earth tones and grey-blue colors. The house has a number of sustainable or “green” building features, including 2x8 construction (40% greater insulation value); generous glass areas to provide natural lighting and ventilation; large overhangs for sun and snow protection; metal siding for maximum durability; and radiant floor heating. The house also has solar hot water panels for domestic hot water.

AFTER--Viewed from the entry stairs and from within the home this area is now an attractive entry. At night the 3 silver spheres light up and shine onto the glass 'leaves'. Vertical metal 'trellises link the stairs and the ground with climbing Star Jasmine vines. The scene pulls the eye away from the shady areas under the stairs. The lower retaining wall is steel clad.
