Inside this contemporary Glenview, Illinois residence, a natural aluminum cable railing system creates a striking architectural feature that enhances both function and form. The railing is anchored by precisely aligned, deck-mounted posts with a powder coated aluminum finish that reflects ambient light and adds a subtle industrial character. Each segment has a clean, wide, rectangular top rail that provides a firm grip and a clear visual border. Between the posts, taut stainless steel cables stretch in parallel, delivering a sense of transparency while ensuring code-compliant safety. This meticulously crafted system traces two staircases joined by a spacious landing, then wraps the open loft above, establishing a sense of visual continuity across multiple levels. With clean horizontal lines and subtle elegance framing the inside, the overall impression is light and contemporary, letting natural light flow freely.
