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.

Mother of all Arts

With this blog I hope to initiate some discussion comments and show you some of my projects.

Architecture has been called the "mother of all arts" and that could present a good discussion topic for starters. I first heard that phrase twenty years ago when I was in architectural history classes at the University of Houston. I really did not think too much about it until I became more involved with fine art again over the last few years.  I want to give that thought a bit more research. What do you think? Do you agree? or disagree? Why?
