Maison 170 M2 Rénovation complète d'une maison à colombages dans les Landes, construite il y a une quarantaine d'années, et qui était en très mauvais état y compris l'extérieur. Les clients ont tout de suite vu le potentiel de cette demeure de 170 M2 sur 2 étages. Son espace atypique a été entièrement repensé et modernisé car elle était très cloisonnée. En effet, la maison possédait de minuscules pièces, 2 couloirs, beaucoup de lambris au bois sombre... Nous avons voulu conserver son charme tout en la rendant confortable, spacieuse et fonctionnelle. Cette maison est devenue un lieu chaleureux et apaisant au style épuré avec des matériaux naturels. La maison dispose d'une grande pièce à vivre avec insert autour duquel s'articule un salon TV et un coin lecture, une salle à manger et une grande cuisine ouverte avec îlot. La salle de bain au carrelage des années 70 s'est transformée en SPA grâce à la pose d'une douche à l'italienne et d'une baignoire îlot, le tout recouvert d'un magnifique béton ciré. Et nous avons créé une 2ème salle d'eau à l'étage. La maison a dorénavant 5 chambres dont 1 dortoir. Nous avons fait poser des verrières pour laisser passer la lumière naturelle et un escalier a été conçu sur mesure pour accéder aux chambres du haut. Les extérieurs ont été également repensés notamment en créant une terrasse mêlant bois et béton ciré, ainsi qu'une piscine. Nos clients sont ravis et nous aussi!

An used closet under the stairs is transformed into a beautiful and functional chilled wine cellar with a new wrought iron railing for the stairs to tie it all together. Travertine slabs replace carpet on the stairs. LED lights are installed in the wine cellar for additional ambient lighting that gives the room a soft glow in the evening. Photos by: Ryan Wilson

Light and bright but with a bit of 'wow' factor in this Hallway and Entrance. We designed and added panelling to go up the stairs below a dado rail. Vista from the front door through to the garden

The staircase once housed a traditional railing with twisted iron pickets. During the renovation, the skirt board was painted in the new wall color, and railings replaced in gunmetal gray steel with a stained wood cap. The end result is an aesthetic more in keeping with the homeowner's collection of contemporary artwork mixed with antiques.

Staircase Design Ideas

A staircase isn’t just a structural element that links two floors – it can also help define your style, make a statement, and turn your entryway into a grand entrance. There are a growing range of materials and staircase designs to cater to your personal style and the size of your space. Here are some quick tips to consider while browsing images of staircase designs on Houzz.

What type of staircase works best for me?

The first consideration when planning a stair design is space. A double-sided staircase, for instance, will only work in a large area; whereas an L-shaped staircase or straight staircase are more compact options. The next step in the stair design is deciding on a style. Elliptical or curved stairs offer elegance, while spiral stairs can appear more urban. If you want a contemporary design, floating stairs are a great way to circulate light.

What balustrade and handrail options are available?

Balustrades and handrails are important for safety but also allow you to get creative with your stair design. Many staircases are built up against a wall – if that’s the case, the wall itself can act as a balustrade; it will just need an attached handrail. Glass balustrades are great if you want to show off your staircase as an architectural feature, whereas a timber balustrade tends to be a more timeless option. Metal balustrades are versatile in that they can be industrial, elegant or quirky. Consider functionality, too, especially if you have kids. An open railing, for instance could become a safety hazard.

What type of material should I use for stair treads?

Timber stair treads are strong and timeless, but aren’t suited to those with indoor pets as they’ll show up scuffs. Carpeted or stone stair treads are more traditional options, whereas stainless steel and glass can be quite contemporary. Concrete stair treads are increasingly popular for those looking to create a sculptural masterpiece out of their staircase – just imagine the effect of floating concrete stairs, daringly cantilevered. Also consider using a combination of materials to create visual interest.
