Summary: | For the downtown condo of Dr. Kenneth Montague - part dentist, part art curator - architect David Anand Peterson created a stair designed to direct movement upward and reveal a library space beyond. "The stringer is painted steel, while the open treads are made of walnut," says Peterson. "Dark-stained walnut is used on the walking surface and bleached walnut on the underside.

The bleached walnut appears again in the cabinetry at the top of the stair." |
