This curved staircase is the central focus of the entryway. Z&O mimicked iron ballusters that they had taken out of a brownstone in New York. Windows and lighting have always been an integral part of Z&O’s design. They used an eyebrow window in this hall to flood the staircase with light. Herringbone cherry wood flooring was used.

A custom handrail was designed to accept ones fingers in this foyer with a front door of leaded glass designed by Zwirko & Ortmann. A romantic archway welcomes guests as they arrive.

A library was important to this client so Z&O built a raised floor off the living room to create a distinctive area with beaded pine bookcases and flooring. Hand hewn oak ceiling beams and textured plaster ceilings completed the look.

The client had a strong love of the water which was taken into account during the design phase of this project. The nautical influence is evident in the loft area. Oak structural beams and random pine ceilings with plastered walls are distinctive features of this room as well.
