Stair

The kitchen island, illuminated by Flos Smithfield ceiling lamp, faces the steel entry stair, framed through a window. The steel was stripped and painted, and new L-shaped wood treads, steel railing, and wood handrail were subsequently fitted.

At the top of the steel staircase, a window-lined hallway wraps around the inner courtyard as it leads to the playroom. The upper level also includes the children’s bedrooms and bathroom.

Steel allowed Kunding to be playful with the staircase’s form.

At the top of the stairwell, a sitting area is outfitted with a vintage Eames lounge, a large Jack Goldstein painting, and a 1970s light fixture found by Marcovitz in Paris.

The residents use either the black steel staircase or a glassed-in elevator by Wittur to get around the house.
