The team of Steve Rynerson and Paul Duchscherer has won a Palladio Award for the restoration of the McDonald Mansion in Santa Rosa, CA.

Mableton’s Map Room is a newly-created mezzanine-level room accessed via the Library’s spiral stair and catwalk. As the name implies, the room houses the owners’ collection of antique maps, and the cartographic theme is reinforced by a stained glass compass rose window designed and fabricated by Theodore Ellison Designs. The neo-grec wallpaper scheme of the Library expands into the three-part ceiling and panelized walls of the Map Room which doubles as a private study.

At the stair landing is a matching suite of Japanesque leaded art glass windows custom designed for this project.
