Tudor Tutorial

Evoking traditional construction techniques of the Tudor period, Boerder designed hammer-beam trusses along the ceiling and a Gothic-inspired baluster for the railing. “Rather than panel the entire stair hall, designer Joe Minton covered the walls with a hand-painted burlap, which lightens it a great deal and keeps the space from being overly dark and aggressive,” says the architect.
