Housing and Custom Residential

Stairs are more than just vertical circulation; they are also important design elements that affect daily life for residents and neighbors. Great exterior stairs can do more than just conform to code. They can be a thoughtful part of the whole housing development and illustrate how they engage the street and sidewalk. Exterior stairs play an important part in the transition from public to private, something any successful housing development needs to handle well. Interior stairs are also important. If thoughtfully considered, they can make even a small floor plan feel spacious and pleasant. It is the process of design that will help you use stairs to add delight to the lives of your residents and their neighbors—without adding dollars to your development costs.
