TAKE FLIGHT

The tall ceilings of the home’s stairwell provided the perfect canvas for an expansive gallery wall. Artist and designer Elisabeth Hays drew inspiration from the home’s eco-friendly theme by selecting a more neutral, tone on tone color palette for the butterflies, each originally crafted by Hays herself. The abstract chandelier is inspired by florals with six layers of rattan and densely braided edges providing a soft diffused light. Natural light from the ventilating skylight reflects off the organic shapes and tones of the butterflies, give them an uplifting sense of flight on every level.

“THE STAIRWAY COULD’VE BEEN A REALLY DARK SPACE BECAUSE IT’S IN THE CORE OF THE HOME, BUT BY PUTTING THE SKYLIGHT IN AT AN ANGLE WHERE THE NOON SUN WILL NEVER COME DIRECTLY DOWN, IT BOUNCES INTO THE LIGHT WELL AND GETS DIFFUSED SO IT IS SHARED FROM THE GROUND FLOOR TO THE TOP.”

- REBECCA BRYANT, ARCHITECT & DESIGNER
