1880's Staircase Makeover

You already know we love a good staircase story from this previous blog post (plus stairs that can double as seating, stairs as connective origami, and stairs as a transitional space for the soul), which makes us excited to share this update from the team at The Bank Lofts:

One of the most unexpected architectural details inside THE BANK LOFTS is a late-19th-century wooden staircase with a fanciful newel post and flat, decoratively pierced balusters.

Unfortunately the staircase did not meet code for the purpose of a mixed use/multifamily building.

Visit The Bank Lofts to find out what we did to retain the staircase in the building, and how Simple Integrity repurposed and restored it to live another 100+ years.
