Asheville Mountain Residence | Cable Railings & Oak Handrails

This Asheville residence uses a long upper gallery and bridge to connect private rooms above the double-height living area. The railing needed to protect the open edge while maintaining clear views through the home to the surrounding forest and tall black-framed windows.

MERUZY supplied a coordinated cable guard system for the gallery, bridge, stair and landings. Matte-black square steel posts provide a strong visual rhythm, while horizontal stainless-steel cables keep the infill light and transparent. A continuous white-oak cap rail matches the flooring and introduces a warm, comfortable surface at hand level.

Adjustable terminals allow each cable run to be tensioned precisely and serviced independently. Reinforced end posts resist cable loads, concealed floor fixings keep the installation clean, and carefully fabricated oak corners maintain a continuous line through changes in direction.
