New Stairway Designed for Heights Bungalow Remodel by V. Bridges Hoyt Design


Since the attic had been just an attic, there was no stairway in the house.  I designed a new custom stairway and provided plans and construction documents for the builder to use.  Below is an image of the new Craftsman style stairway leading from the first floor library/study into the now master bedroom suite  that replaced the former attic space.

Heights Bungalow House Remodel by V. Bridges Hoyt Design
