These elegant twin curved staircases transform the foyer into an impressive architectural statement. Rising symmetrically on either side of the entrance, they frame a curved balcony above, creating grandeur from the moment you enter. Both staircases feature rich oak treads and stringers paired with classic black wrought-iron balusters. Custom handrail components ensure smooth, seamless transitions through every curve. Careful collaboration and precise templating during the framing phase guaranteed a perfect fit along the curved walls, proving that exceptional results require both planning and precision. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

This San Marcos kitchen transformation features Sierras quartz from the Viaterra line — a warm, naturally veined surface that bridges the gap between the look of quartzite and the low-maintenance performance of engineered stone. The homeowners replaced their existing granite countertops while keeping their original tile backsplash. The warm movement in Sierras complemented the cream cabinetry, crystal pendant lighting, and stone flooring beautifully — tying the whole space together in a way that feels completely intentional. Fabricated and installed by Rock-It Surfaces Inc., San Marcos, CA. Template to installation completed in 7 days.

This kitchen with full height backsplash in Gaston came together in Calacatta Lilly, an engineered quartz from AG Stones that gives you that bright white background with soft gray and gold veining moving through it. We used the same stone into the bathroom vanities too, so the whole house reads consistent without repeating the same room twice. Quartz like this is manufactured under controlled conditions, so the veining pattern is engineered to look natural while staying more predictable slab to slab than a lot of natural stone. That consistency matters most in a kitchen, where the counters are doing the real work every day. Calacatta Lilly holds up to knives, hot pans, and the general chaos of cooking without needing much babying. It's non-porous, so there's no sealing schedule to keep track of, no worrying about a glass of wine sitting too long or lemon juice etching a ring into the surface. You wipe it down and move on with your life. Getting the look right across a kitchen this size takes some care at the template stage. We're matching veining direction across the island, the perimeter, and working out where the seams fall so they land somewhere quiet, not right in your line of sight. With a manufactured stone like this, the pattern repeats in a way that actually helps us keep that continuity, but it still takes a careful eye to lay it out so the kitchen looks like one continuous piece rather than a handful of slabs pieced together. In the bathroom, that same white and gray palette does something different. Vanities don't take the abuse a kitchen counter does, so the quartz there is more about keeping a clean, bright look day after day with almost zero maintenance. We finished both spaces with an eased edge, simple and clean, letting the stone itself carry the room instead of the edge detail. Gaston sits right in that stretch of the Midlands where we do a lot of our work, and it's always good to get out there and put a stone like this into a house. Calacatta Lilly gives this kitchen and bath a bright, cohesive look that's going to hold up fine to daily life for a long time to come.

Located in the heart of Manhattan’s Lower East Side, the building was erected on a shallow commercial lot between two 120 year old masonry buildings and a new residential rental building. 330 Grand Street is a mix of 725 SF 1BRs and 1050 SF 2BR apartments. It also contains a 1100 SF two story duplex as well as private and public rooftop space, large private balconies for most units and two large private terraces for the ground floor units. 330 Grand Street was originally designed and approved at the NYC DOB as a prefabricated modular building. During the pandemic, as shipping costs skyrocketed putting the project at risk, we suggested redesigning the building as a reinforced cast-in-place concrete structure. Concrete was readily available and prices had not been affected by the demand increase that many other materials suffered in the pandemic. We took this opportunity to raise floor to ceiling heights, enlarge high performance windows and redistribute the buildings MEPFS and Structural Systems to create very open floor plans. The challenge was to create a luxurious sensorial living experience with very limited means. In a city with very high construction costs, low cost residential buildings in the area are usually devoid of good quality, design and character. Our approach was to aim high for the end user, prioritizing natural light, open space with long visual perspectives, high ceilings and as always, rejecting the use of predefined building templates. Our biggest challenge was to ensure that the small spaces feel as clean cut, large and bright as possible. Several unique design decisions were made to ensure low cost and high quality; Floor plans were laid out so that spaces were wide open and free of clutter from mechanical or structural interruptions. Therefore all infrastructure was placed in lateral demising walls, which in turn act as the unit’s storage and kitchen. The apartments feel wide open, are super quiet and have more storage space than any other comparable apartment in the city. To solve the problem of the site’s shallow commercial lot which is typically prone to dark interior spaces we focused our attention on the building’s envelope. Instead of the usual small punched window openings, oversized high performance windows were designed to ensure that light penetrated as far as possible into the units. In the smaller 1BR units, the full 50’ depth of the lot is perceived by partitioning spaces with sliding pocket doors that can be retracted to allow deep visual perspectives, making the sight lines in the space feel longer, larger, more ample than normal. In addition to the full height glazing, each unit above the 2nd floor receives a 7 foot covered balcony, adding 120 to 240 sf to each apartment, something unusual in New York City buildings. The space is large enough for a full size dining table, when the weather permits being outside. We also worked hard to ensure modularity. For example, all kitchen units are all identical throughout the building. The idea of modularity and the economy of the repetitive unit is exercised to the maximum through the building. Hardware, appliances, flooring, wall coverings and material finishes are all carefully selected to feel bespoke, high quality and unique. It was important to KURV that the result of this work manifest into something that would deeply connect with the end user and sustain relationships with the consumers of this space.

This curved window sunroom we made for our client David E. in Downtown Los Angeles, California was our most challenging and proudest project yet. We had to perfectly design a never-before-attempted template to remove the ugly grids his older, aluminum window frames had made. His majestic view of Los Angeles was replaced by 16 ugly aluminum windows which were deteriorating right before his eyes. His exact comments were, "Thank you for reminding me why I moved in here and purchased this home in the first place. You guys gave me my view back." We could not be happier.

If you need a first-hand illustration of what it means to truly customize your windows, just check out the house we redesigned for Mr. K In Long Beach. The architectural design of his home required the windows and doors to have the shapes of the old original wood windows and doors. California Deluxe Windows’ engineers created a template and color from scratch and then were able to manufacture the exact shape, design as well as color to fit perfectly into the existing openings. CDW’s investment grade windows and doors manufactured right here in Los Angeles proved to be very appealing to our valued customer. We were touched by how impressed he was with the windows and doors. He actually had a formal letter of typed up before we showed up to finalize the project simply to thank us for the job we did. Making customers say “WOW” is our top priority and it was safe to say that Mr. K said “WOW” when we were finished.

Dallas White granite is a good, honest choice for a kitchen that gets used every day. It's a granite with a light gray to white background and darker gray and black mineral flecks scattered through it, sometimes with a little movement in the pattern. It reads clean and bright in a kitchen without being flat or plain, and it works with just about any cabinet color you put it next to. Granite is one of the hardest natural stones we fabricate, and that's what makes it a smart pick for a room where people actually cook. It shrugs off heat from a hot pan set down without thinking, it resists scratching from knives and everyday kitchen traffic, and it holds up to the daily wear a kitchen counter takes better than almost anything else we install. It does need to be sealed, and we take care of that at install so it's protected against staining from day one. Getting a granite kitchen right comes down to the template and the layout at the shop. We lay out the slabs so the pattern falls where it should across the counters, keep seams tight where two pieces meet, and cut the openings for the sink and cooktop clean and square. The edge on this one is eased, a simple, smooth-rounded edge that's easy to keep clean and doesn't chip the way a sharp edge can over time. This kitchen is in Lexington, part of the work we do across the Midlands where granite still holds up as one of the best all-around choices for a working kitchen. Dallas White gives the room a bright, durable surface that's going to look right for a long time, and it does the job every day without asking for much back.

Bookmatched Luxury Kitchen Island – Dekton Laurent & Dekton Rem 2 cm Vein Match Installation | Absolute GM LLC This custom kitchen island showcases advanced vein-matching fabrication using Dekton Laurent and Dekton Rem in 2 cm ultra-compact surface. The design emphasizes continuous visual flow, where the natural movement of the veining is carefully aligned across slab transitions to create a bookmatched architectural effect. Dekton Laurent provides a deep, dramatic base with bold gold veining, while Dekton Rem introduces a lighter, refined marble-inspired tone. When positioned with precision alignment, the materials form a controlled visual composition that enhances depth, contrast, and symmetry within the kitchen space. The fabrication process included digital templating, slab sequencing, and CNC precision cutting to ensure accurate vein alignment across seams, corners, and waterfall edges. Special attention was given to directional flow control so that the natural pattern reads as a continuous surface rather than separate pieces. Installation was executed with tight tolerance control to maintain alignment integrity, producing a seamless, high-end finish suitable for luxury residential interiors. Absolute GM LLC specializes in precision countertop fabrication and installation across Washington State, working with Dekton, porcelain, quartzite, and natural stone materials.

Inspiration for a mid-sized timeless wooden straight staircase remodel in Detroit with painted risers

For a family that loves hosting large gatherings, this expansive home is a dream; boasting two unique entertaining spaces, each expanding onto outdoor-living areas, that capture its magnificent views. The sheer size of the home allows for various ‘experiences’; from a rec room perfect for hosting game day and an eat-in wine room escape on the lower-level, to a calming 2-story family greatroom on the main. Floors are connected by freestanding stairs, framing a custom cascading-pendant light, backed by a stone accent wall, and facing a 3-story waterfall. A custom metal art installation, templated from a cherished tree on the property, both brings nature inside and showcases the immense vertical volume of the house. Photography: Paul Grdina
