Mt. Pleasant

This home looks out over the Columbia River, and the client wanted the staircase to carry a detail as personal as the view. He asked if we could inlay horseshoes randomly into the stair treads, a request that called for the same precision we bring to any structural element, just applied to something entirely custom.

BEFORE: Original staircase before the remodel at the Mt. Pleasant home.
AFTER: Finished staircase with hand-inlaid horseshoe details at the Mt. Pleasant home.
BEFORE: Additional view of the original staircase at the Mt. Pleasant home.
AFTER: Additional view of the horseshoe tread inlays at the Mt. Pleasant home.

Custom requests like this one are where craftsmanship and creativity meet. The horseshoes are set by hand, unevenly by design, so the finished staircase feels personal rather than manufactured, a small signature built into a structural centerpiece.
