The work behind the finish
A stair hall finished in stone, with a slim dark handrail and precisely aligned trim.
The project
Stone steps, a dark handrail, and coordinated trim bring this stair hall from construction to a finished interior.
Photographs
From the project.
Scope
Small details change the whole stair hall
A stair hall taken from bare construction to finished stone treads, a slim dark handrail and trim aligned to the millimeter.
Plan material junctions
Stone, wall finishes, and metalwork meet in a compact space. Their edges and transitions are part of the design.
Judge the whole composition
A finished stair hall is more than a collection of products; lighting, surfaces, and proportions need to read together.

Details that decide how a stair feels
The California Residential Code sets limits on stair riser height, tread depth, headroom and handrail height. Meeting those numbers while keeping stone treads, wall finishes and metalwork aligned takes careful measurement before any material is cut.
Stone is the least forgiving part. Slabs are templated to the finished stair, so framing, backing and wall finishes need to be complete and accurate first.
