Stairs

“It's a little black volume that sits inside,” says Reddymade founder Suchi Reddy of the sculptural staircase.

Black metal and wood define this staircase leading to the guest suite over the garage.

A cylindrical glass staircase with Western red cedar and painted steel mullions dominates the front of the house. The stair treads, along with the floor, are made of recycled spotted gum.

The staircase, which connects the home’s three levels, affords privacy while allowing light to flow through the interior.

Due to the project's relatively modest budget, expensive materials and finishes were used sparingly. Details like this stunning steel staircase were prioritized. The steel fabricator and joiner generated their shop drawings from Downie North’s 3D model, resulting in a seamless connection from the ground-floor concrete slab to the floor above.

The former gallery was enclosed in order to create space for two guest bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. An elevated walkway stretches over the former nave and leads to a master suite opposite, separated from the other bedrooms for privacy.

The two simple volumes are intersected by an internal courtyard that maintains visual transparency between the front and back of the home.

The Oregon wood used for the countertop on the island unit is reclaimed, and came from an old pub on the outskirts of Perth.

The kitchen features Corian countertops and walnut cabinetry. The backsplashes are chevron-patterned, Carrera marble tile.

Polished concrete floors provides beneficial thermal mass in wintertime.

For a minimalist balustrade, the architects installed Ronstan Carl Stahl X-Tend stainless steel mesh to separate the stairs from the kitchen.

On the other side of the bathroom “box” is a lounge with a lofted reading room. The space also serves as the perfect play room.
