Art Niches in a Stairwell



What began as a client inspiration from a restaurant while traveling, became an impromptu project in our latest project phase. We took our best guess at what was possible, then refined after we cut the holes to see what sort of walls we we working with. This part of the house abuts additions that were done in 1930s, 1970s and early 2000s... so each wall had a different story behind it, as we cut in. Built the niche boxes with a groove to recesses the LED strip tape light (on a Lutron dimmer, set for extra low dimming levels). Semi-gloss white for a candy-shell surface; thick, buttery & luxurious.

Project collaboration: Mya Bea and Greg Slain.
