MRS fabricates modern stair in home designed by famous architect B. Thorne
Sunday, February 22nd, 2009We have had the privilege this month of fabricating and installing an incredibly unique project in an Oakland residence designed by famous local architect Beverley David Thorne. The home is known as the “Millennium House” and it exemplifies Thorne’s tradition of steel residential structures. MRS fabricated and installed the spiral stair case, which is the centerpiece of the octagonal house. Here are a few progress shots: 
Mr. Thorne is well known for designing the Harrison House in 1962. It was one of the Case Study Houses sponsored by Arts & Architecture magazine, which commissioned major architects of the day to design and build inexpensive and efficient model homes for the residential housing boom caused by the end of World War II and the return of millions of soldiers.
We’re very excited about this project. Check back in a month or two for photos of the completed work!
