The Western Springs sweep.
A three-story continuous curved stair, finished with a flared bullnose at the entry and a single walnut handrail running from cellar to crown.
Three floors. One stair. No breaks. A curved sweep that starts with a flared bullnose at the entry foyer, climbs continuously to the second floor and the third, and resolves into a single walnut handrail you can run your hand along from the first tread to the top landing without ever lifting it.
The signature move is the entry: a flared three-step bullnose that fans out from the curve into the foyer, set under a pair of brass-and-glass pendants. It's the kind of detail that takes a stair from architectural to sculptural — the moment where a flight of stairs starts behaving like a piece of furniture.
The geometry is uncompromising. Every tread is curved. The handrail follows a true helix, hand-formed in sections in our shop and joined so the seams disappear. The turned white balusters carry a classical vocabulary into a contemporary envelope — they read as traditional from below and as rhythm from the side.
Look up the well from the entry: three full stories of stair resolve into a single, ascending curve. The walnut rail is a continuous line. The white balusters are a steady drumbeat under it. The whole house reveals itself through the geometry of the stair, which is what a curved stair is supposed to do.
A curved sweep where the handrail is one piece — first tread to top landing, never lifted.
The entry foyer in full context — flared bullnose, brass pendants, double-door entry.
The arched front door framed by the curve of the bottom flight.
Looking up from the entry — the helix resolves into the second-floor balustrade.
The foyer at a closer reading distance — bullnose flare, turned balusters, walnut rail.
