The stairs
are made of Terrazzo with reinforced steel inside. Each stair
is free-standing and anchored into two feet of concrete onto a
railroad tie buried beneath the flooring. Each of the stairs
was lifted by crane through the top of the house and anchored
into place. The North sloping ceiling was then installed with
glass panes to let in natural lighting.
The master
bedroom is at the top of the stairway and features a large
sunken Jacuzzi tub, a huge walk-through closet and a private
study.
Walking
through the two level home is an adventure which includes a
walking bridge crossing the lake and open platforms to sit,
relax and enjoy the cascading water on the old waterwheel. On
the top level there is an open slate porch to watch the
peaceful swans glide around the lake. |
