UserAshridge House is a beautiful property hidden away within the Ashridge Estate, surrounded by woodlands of oak and beech in the rolling Chiltern Hills. The majestic double helical solid oak and steel staircase exemplifies the grandeur of the property and reflects the breathtaking beauty of its natural surroundings.
The organic design comprises two curved staircases including oak strings, treads, risers, apron boards and handrails with a matching gallery. The lower stair has curved entry treads with 2D risers and is flared out with handrail volutes on both sides, giving an impression of natural elegance.
However, it is the balustrades of steel spindles flanking the stairs on both sides which make this staircase something truly special. The delicate curved lines of the painted steel are something of an optical illusion, creating the unique sensation that the balustrade is rippling in exquisite waves as you pass by.
The concept and design grew from a seed of an idea from the client in the form of a hand-drawn sketch and pullout from a magazine. Kevala Stars team then worked closely with the client and their architect to nurture this initial idea into the unique staircase that exists today. Retaining the original concept, yet interpreting the design to fit the feature into the available space, Kevala Stairs thus successfully fulfilled the client’s aspirations.

kimberly peck architectFor this commission the client hired us to do the interiors of their new home which was under construction. The style of the house was very traditional however the client wanted the interiors to be transitional, a mixture of contemporary with more classic design. We assisted the client in all of the material, fixture, lighting, cabinetry and built-in selections for the home. The floors throughout the first floor of the home are a creme marble in different patterns to suit the particular room; the dining room has a marble mosaic inlay in the tradition of an oriental rug. The ground and second floors are hardwood flooring with a herringbone pattern in the bedrooms. Each of the seven bedrooms has a custom ensuite bathroom with a unique design. The master bathroom features a white and gray marble custom inlay around the wood paneled tub which rests below a venetian plaster domes and custom glass pendant light. We also selected all of the furnishings, wall coverings, window treatments, and accessories for the home. Custom draperies were fabricated for the sitting room, dining room, guest bedroom, master bedroom, and for the double height great room. The client wanted a neutral color scheme throughout the ground floor; fabrics were selected in creams and beiges in many different patterns and textures. One of the favorite rooms is the sitting room with the sculptural white tete a tete chairs. The master bedroom also maintains a neutral palette of creams and silver including a venetian mirror and a silver leafed folding screen. Additional unique features in the home are the layered capiz shell walls at the rear of the great room open bar, the double height limestone fireplace surround carved in a woven pattern, and the stained glass dome at the top of the vaulted ceilings in the great room.
