For this coastal residence, the design brief called for a staircase that felt grounded, natural, and deeply connected to its relaxed environment. The client desired a material that would bring warmth and character to the clean, minimalist lines of the surrounding plastered walls.

ChêneOak supplied solid French oak for both the treads and risers, specifically selecting a rustic grade to celebrate the timber’s natural variations, knots, and unique grain patterns. This approach transformed a functional straight-run staircase into a compelling architectural feature.
