This is why OOIIO Architecture design team came with the idea of create a "Swiss Army Knife" concept for this house, where every brief activity has its own place but at the same time all the spaces join together into a central communications core.

This space is the heart of the house, and is presided by a spectacular helicoidal stair, that works as a sculpture pointing the architectural importance of this space.
