Affectionately known as “the catwalk”…
… this unique staircase was devised by
Cordsten Design Architecture
… and brought to life by Salmon Studios
In addition to the highly decorative central stair, this historic recreation of a carriagehouse contained a large garage, guest loft and a blacksmith studio…
… Modular construction and carefully hidden connections allowed for seamless integration to the building, and a unique experience for visitors…
… the studio’s vaulted ceiling is supported by massive trusses, designed to mimic period structural iron.
