TOP LEFT: The beach house's central staircase cantilevers from the second story
as the oak treads appear to float in space. Steel rods create a wall that artistically

the serenity while the angled clerestory window and skylight flood the room with

entry and kitchen. A large island, stainless steel appliances, open shelving, and
wood-trimmed windows complete the modern space
