Laboring over every material and line, this project is the result of rigorous design and planning with the clients. With a constant requirement for precision, the joinery and timing of materials throughout the home create clean, harmonic spaces that carry one throughout the home. Celebrating a truth in materials, white walls highlight the wide variety of finishes including clear timber, sandstone, marble, cork, concrete, and steel.

Gregory Creek Residence - Staircase

Floating against birch paneling, the main stair incorporates treads salvaged from old barn wood.

A view from the kitchen toward the stairway showcases extra storage space for cookbooks and a countertop area for prep.

Vertical wood elements surrounding the staircase are emphasized by cables that stretch down to the lower level.

The use of wood throughout the headquarters instills a lodge-like sense of warmth and comfort.

The sweeping, curved oak staircase with an oak balustrade leads to the first floor, which—unlike the ground floor’s polished concrete flooring—features herringbone oak parquet floors. Underfloor heating is powered by a 12kW ground-source heat pump with 600 meters of pipe buried in the garden.
