A feature American Black Walnut staircase wraps itself up through the building, connecting the habitable spaces through its tree like presence. At the bottom of the staircase the tree like form wraps itself onto the ceiling of the basement rooms as the roots of the staircase in plywood ribbons, thus connecting this vertical building thematically as well as
spatially.
Half landings, internal openings and unusual apertures encourage the notion of creating internal courtyards of living spaces that are all strongly connected to one another.
At the top of the house sits a roof top study for the client, over-looking the four storey central staircase.
