This “cool” looking bespoke oak staircase with a quarter landing was designed for a private client. They undertook the challenge of transforming an out-dated residence into a sleek, contemporary, open living space. One of the client’s requirements for the Kevala Stairs design team was to retain the storage cupboard. We love challenges and our team suggested a re-design of the first floor gallery landing and by re-shaping it, a new cupboard space was created underneath on the ground floor and away from the staircase, allowing it to become a feature of the hallway. The new wider design of the staircase has created a more comfortable access to the first floor. The entry tread has a square bullnose to maintain the modern look. Glass balustrading was incorporated in the design to open up the space, allowing unhindered views throughout. Kevala Stairs also supplied and installed 85m2 of corresponding oak floorboards in sky grey colour fusing the staircase and the floor together to create a beautiful contemporary living space.

A stunning traditional styled home with a custom turned feature post in the main entry. Turned wood spindles and posts continue through the the rest of the staircase for a breath taking entrance and beautiful finish to a one of a kind home. Thank you Alair Homes for the photos.

The Bloomfield Hills Residence is a 10,400sf single-family home in Bloomfield Hills, MI, designed for a young family looking for unique architecture and meticulous interior design in their new home. MPdL Studio served as both design architect and architect of record for this home in which every detail was customized for the family's lifestyle, with high-end design and healthy living at its core. Our design paid particular attention to detailed brick work, glass walls, millwork, and cabinetry. The exterior is Endicott dark ironspot brick, stucco, cypress windows and trim, and slate roof. The interior materials include bluestone and walnut floors, knotty oak, and milk painted maple cabinetry. In addition to selecting all furnishings, light fixtures, table settings, and the curation of art work, MPdL Studio custom-designed key furniture. For example, the dining room contains a walnut wood hand-carved table that seats up to sixteen, while the bar area features a walnut butcher block counter and frosted bronze glass shelves. The wooden staircase in the entry features details that are all customized with unique alignment elements from the vertical seams to the treads on the ground, and the wood and metal handrails. Airy curtains line the walls and turn around corners, complementing the architecture of the space. The kitchen and family room were designed as an open space for an active family with ample storage, comfortable furniture, and views to the back yard which include an outdoor pool, cabana, and custom play structures for the children.

Our eclectic modern home remodel project turned a closed-off home filled with heavy wood details into a contemporary haven for hosting with creative design choices, making the space feel up to date and ready to host lively gatherings. The main living space that hosts the large custom walnut and steel staircase was a significant upgrade from the heavy wood that closed off other parts of the house from one another. This new staircase is inviting and creates flow from one level to another. The entryway is welcoming with an arched built-in and incredible custom front door. This space also received an upgraded stone fireplace; together with the oversized windows, this space is a cozy gathering space for friends and family.
