PROJECT SUMMARY:

The owner of a 1981 home asked for a dramatic entry. Their desire: to showcase a

grand entrance to their large vaulted living room, which could also serve

as an open stairway to the basement. Located in the center of the house, the entry

width limited the number of options for a stair configuration. The exterior of the

entry competed for aesthetic space with the vaulted

garage but could not be out of scale upon entering the house.

Our solution? Outside, a 24-foot high vaulted entry rises above the large

adjacent garage roof. Inside, a ten foot by 14-foot entrance between the front

door and existing living area balances the volume within the home. A small

addition to the front of the house allows guests to move about freely without

feeling confined. A dramatic 15-foot cascading light fixture with multiple

translucent globes hangs above the semi-circular basement stairway to

welcome visitors. The gorgeous stairway rail was uniquely

hand-crafted with special metal.
