Residence: Building on Memories
The Rhythm of a Stairway
This dramatic stairway is the focal point in the entry. The newell post comes from trees on the construction site. The colors enhance the circular look and the space under the stairway is perfect for an antique leather bench.

Building on Memories Challenge:
The family house had to go. It made no economical sense to remodel. The new contemporary home needed to be set in a grove of mesquite trees and the clients love natural materials and color. How to incorporate family antiques, Mexican art, mesquite and lots more into this home.
Solution:
The mesquite wood was salvaged from the cut trees, kiln dried, and made into a spiral staircase, floors, and accents. Tile, stone, and color separate areas. Niches and built-in cabinets offer display space. Antiques and contemporary furniture blend giving a warm feeling of “coming home” when you enter the house.
