A dangerous spiral stair redesigned into a winder, providing safe and easy access between floors of this 2 story St. George home.  The Webbers had struggled for years with their quirky staircase. Caring for their son who has special needs and grandparents who visit often meant they had to find a solution that didn't involve taking out key foundational walls entirely. 3 architects attempted but none could produce anything that was feasible. Luckily, we were able to help them f
