"The owner wanted to have a glamorous entrance," said Pilson. "We felt that neutral colors would go with whatever we wanted to do in the house. There was a wrought iron railing on the stairs, so we wanted to bring black in [to the medallion], and what goes with black, which was white. But that would have looked cold, so we also introduced gray. It was waterjet cut and [attached as one piece] so it just had to be installed."
The stairs were installed by four workers from Ankur International over a period of about six weeks. "We made each and every piece for the stairs," said Binod Toshniwal of Ankur International. "The stairs were mud set."
