A Classical Journey: The Work of Architect Ken Tate

For this new home, Ken's mission was to create a house that would be a cross between a French country cottage and a Caribbean cottage. It needed to have a circular main staircase and a floor plan conducive to circulating.

Evidence of Ken's preference for using beautiful and highly functional materials, the unusual balusters in the foyer staircase are individual welded-metal elements that pivot at top and bottom so that they can be turned to follow the curve of the stairway.
