40 east 80th street NEW YORK, NY
This duplex apartment with a lyrical ovoid stair, integrated shared spaces, and bountiful light was designed for a couple with young children. A fluid, open plan allows the family to share activities together. The interior is studded with objects of cultivated taste and artistry, and the stair serves as an art object and a metaphor for music. The lyrical transition from floor to floor mimics the ascent and descent on the musical scale. Each family member is welcomed openly to the shared spaces after they descend the graceful and musical feature from their private spaces.
GIANTS IN THE DIRT.
