With a multi-level home Texas architects must design staircases to convey the homeowners from on level to another. As most staircases are built on site, they present a perfect opportunity to turn a functional element into an artistic installment. The staircases featured here not only get their homeowners up and down, but also go the extra mile to improve views, accommodate the elderly, or create usable space, all while enhancing the home’s design.
