The staircase was never just circulation.
In this project, it became the spine of the house — connecting three levels vertically and four programs horizontally: the main entrance, a contemplation courtyard, two studies, and the social heart of the home.
The brutalist language — raw board-formed concrete, bold volumes — lives in deliberate tension with the warmth of wood and the softness of filtered light. As the day moves, so does the house. The shadows on concrete are never the same twice.
Basement to ground floor to upper floor. Public to private. Arrival to stillness.
