Architect Visit: Interior Stairs by John Maniscalco Architecture
From Janet
San Francisco architect John Maniscalco is a master at bringing natural light into the interiors of homes that are narrow or confined by small lot sizes. He incorporates windows, mirrors, and materials to bring in light and a sense of space.
Above: Maniscalco reorganized this Parnassus residence "around a unifying vertical stair core, backed by a wall of glass, flooding all floors with light while providing a vertical spatial connection for the entire house."

Thank you for you wonderful blog.
I love seeing different types of staircases and how they are incorporated into a home or business. Maniscalco's are some of my favorites. Thanks for sharing!
Can you source something similar to the red and white 'tribal' runner in the John Maniscalco stairwell image?
I'm always looking for this kind of rug, but they are typically to colorful? I like the simplicity of this one. Is it Moroccan?
Thanks.
the vertical stair core photo inspired me to draw a beautifull painting, but i will paint the partially in red in a way keeping a harmony with wood.
i will post the painting in my clinic as well.
thanks for the inspiration
