The Staircase

The main stair from the house to the pool was its own mini design challenge. The descent was going to be steep no matter what, but how to do so in a graceful way. We created a stucco staircase with terra cotta treads and tiled risers. The risers become the real design moment with alternating rows of colors and patterns. We must have mocked up 8 different scenarios before settling on the final selection.
