"The clients are a Swiss and Swedish couple with two children, who split their time between Europe and New York. They really wanted the stairwell to be a main sculptural element in the home. We all recognized that it had the potential for a lot of impact."
"While designing the stairs, we prioritized livability and longevity. We pushed our clients toward a timeless staircase, to give them something they could live with for a long time, and that would hold up in its aesthetic identity."
"To capture the idea of the stairwell feeling 'contained' or like a continuous chamber or pathway, the architects had to reengineer the construction of the landings at each level."
"The result is beautiful—a stairway that plays off the kitchen's warm wooden casework and primary bedroom's headboard to create a sense of continuity between levels, ending in a dramatic wraparound feature."
