The townhouse occupied three compact levels, with a dark central stair and little everyday storage. The owners needed better stair lighting, an organized entry and a shared living area for work, meals and visitors. The design had to work around fixed walls and services, and construction needed to limit disruption to neighboring homes.

A lighter stair guard, continuous wall color, and new layered lighting draw daylight deeper into the plan. Built-in storage follows underused edges rather than narrowing circulation, and repeated oak details connect the floors without making every room identical.

Construction was sequenced by floor, with protected access routes and scheduled noisy work. The scope covered staircase updates, electrical work, flooring, built-in cabinetry, painting, bathroom refreshes, and final styling.

Step lighting makes the stair treads easier to see, and built-in storage keeps the routes between rooms clear. The shared living floor can support work, meals and visitors, with storage kept along the edges.

Pale oak flooring and oak veneer cabinetry repeat across the floors, with wall and step lighting supporting movement between levels.
