Sculptural Staircases and Transitional Corridors
We view staircases and corridors as essential architectural features rather than mere circulation paths. By integrating natural light and refined materiality, we transform these functional areas into sculptural elements that define the spatial experience of your home.

About Transitional Spaces: Staircases & Corridors
A staircase should function as a primary architectural installation within a residence. In our practice, we balance structural elements such as black metal framing with warmer materials like oak and marble to create a transition that commands attention while maintaining a disciplined, minimalist aesthetic.
When designing a staircase or hallway, we prioritize the intersection of geometry and movement. Our approach involves utilizing circular skylights to introduce vertical daylight, which casts shifting shadows that emphasize the texture of the materials throughout the day. Whether we are implementing a cantilevered structure or a monolithic concrete form, our intent is to unify the disparate zones of a residence.
We approach these circulation spaces with the same rigor applied to a living room or exterior facade, treating them as primary architectural volumes rather than secondary connectors. We utilize a palette of microcement, Italian marble, and black-stained oak to establish visual continuity throughout the dwelling. This method ensures that the path through your home feels deliberate, harmonious, and spatially fluid. By removing unnecessary ornamentation, we allow the clean lines and material interplay to provide the visual interest, creating an environment that feels both sophisticated and inherently comfortable.
