Newport, RI
Custom sculptural piece provides access for home owners to the oak floored sitting space above this architectural feature in the Master Bedroom. This harborside home in Newport features a 'lighthouse' turret which provides an amazing view across Brenton Cove to Fort Adams and on up to the bridge. This "Gangway" falls somewhere between a staircase and ladder. It is custom formed of White Oak, Cherry and Wenge and does not include a single fastener. The 3 foot wide solid Cherry treads are through morticed into the White Oak stays, then double wedged with exotic Wenge. Cushioned seating and panoramic views await above, providing a most romantic escape.
