The thick treads and dark stain on these timber stairs complemented well the timber work on this home and carport in Rossland, BC.
The timber stairs shown here were cut, finished, and assembled at our shop, then shipped to the home for installation.
To protect the straw bale walls on this studio from direct exposure to precipitation, the roof was built with large overhangs. This will also provide covered porch space around the perimeter of the studio for the owner to enjoy during inclement weather.
The framing for this roof is a symmetrical hip roof with large overhangs and a cupola. In order to allow for the cupola, the framing of the roof does not extend to the peak. This makes the framing a bit more complicated, but it accomplishes the owner’s goal of an unrestricted view of the cupola from the interior of the building.
