Project architect Brian Cavanaugh of Architecture Building Culture chose a solid wood stringer and treads to conceal the staircase’s steel angle brackets.
In Seattle, a family of four Australian expats asked studio Architecture Building Culture to intervene upon the passageway between their home’s main floor and a new family room in its daylit basement. The result, a spare wood staircase with a rhythmic baluster screen, accomplishes that goal with wonderful grace. The piece floats above a polished concrete floor thanks to a custom pin connection.
