56_Elegant Wall-Mounted Craftsman Style Staircase, Arlington VA 22205

"The staircase remains an iconic expression of the technological and artistic innovation of modern times." [Dethier, Jean. (2013). Staircases/The Architecture of Ascent. New York: The Vendome Press.] A discerning client selected us to design and build this strong staircase; a magnificent visual point for the main entrance in this recently built residence. The structure features square white-painted newel posts, custom-turned wooden balusters (painted white), red oak treads, a beautifully finished walnut handrail system, and ceiling-to-floor wainscoting complementing beautifully the detailed decorative architectural trims in adjacent spaces.

48_Contemporary Round Stainless Steel Balustrade & Oak Treads, Arlington VA 2220

A remarkable Architect/Builder selected us to help design, build and install his geometric/contemporary four-level staircase; definitively not a “cookie-cutter” stair design, capable to blend/accompany very well the geometric forms of the custom millwork found throughout the home, and the spectacular chef’s kitchen/adjoining light filled family room.  Since the architect’s goal was to allow plenty of natural light in at all times (staircase is located next to wall of windows), the stairs feature solid 2” oak treads with 4” nose extensions, absence of risers, and beautifully finished poplar stringers. The horizontal cable balustrade system flows dramatically from the lower level rec room to the magnificent view offered by the fourth level roof top deck. CSC © 1976-2020 Century Stair Company.

43_Powerful Impression by Floating Staircase, Mclean VA 22101

We collaborated with a well-respected builder in the Washington metropolitan area and came up with this sun drenched elegant custom staircase. The white wooden newel post at the end of the right hand side balustrade (going up to second level) combined with the ebonized handrails create a sharp contrast with the Brazilian cherry walnut treads, hardwood flooring and white balusters. The floating staircase occupies a prominent place in all levels; an open living space concept was maintained in the basement, main level and second floor and this nice structure is definitely a stylish focal point.

Thoughtful planning went into every detail for this magnificent wooden staircase; all oak treads, risers and stringers were cut to the exact construction specifications provided by builder/owners.

14_Entryway Transformation – Spiral Freestanding Staircase, Gainesville VA 20155

The entryway is this home in Washington DC suburbia was transformed into a great hall with a freestanding circular staircase. Each curved tread was finished with a matching decorative trim bracket and cove molding (which were curved to match the radius of the refreshing spiral concept). The owners were very happy to upgrade their stairways in their home while maintaining their budget. CSC 1976-2020 © Century Stair Company ® All rights reserved.

60_Contemporary Oak Staircase with Frame-less Glass Balustrade, Arlington, VA 22

A glass balustrade was selected for the straight flight to allow light to flow freely into the living area and to create an uncluttered space (defined by the clean lines of the grooved top hand rail and wide bottom stringer). The invisible barrier works beautifully with the 2" squared-off oak treads, matching oak risers and strong-routed poplar stringers;  it definitively improves the modern feel of the home.
