10 residential buildings that make a feature of exterior stairs

A staircase or stairway is one of those architectural elements that we take for granted on a daily basis. Stairs have a utilitarian design, facilitating both ascent and descent. Elevators (lifts) and escalators might dominate modern-day “transit” within and around buildings, yet it is difficult to imagine any building without stairs (particularly as emergency exit routes).  Stairs come in many shapes, sizes, and materials, and can make noteworthy architectural features. The unsung design hero, they are essential connectors, connecting people with different parts of a building and one another. Stairs are also flexible and suited to both indoor and outdoor use. Exterior stairs are frequently designed as fire exits and a mean... More

Porta Vittoria

This house for a young couple required a renovation project based on light and materials. The original plan with living area, night area and attic was maintained but the previous unvarying appearance has been replaced by a journey along textures and colors. The bent metal sheet staircase is a perfect theatre wing into the living room, allowing zenith light to flood in. The imaginary line between living room and kitchen ensures natural light all day long.

Stairway to Heaven apartment

A memorable and minimalist 68-square-meter apartment with a unique staircase-like detail in Vilnius, in the newly developed residential complex of PAUPYS. The accents of this interior were set by contrasting colors and textures, with a unique stair detail on the ceiling, revealed by the hidden technical piping. The stairs detail creates a unique feeling of the upside-down climb, yet it is very slightly visible and doesn‘t create an oppressive feeling, but an interesting volumetric image inside the main area of the apartment. Caption This design uses the neutrality of the main color to draw attention to the rough, strong wood texture throughout the home. It's a three-dimensional puzzle that connects the surfaces with a fluid flo... More

La Toula

The city of Bulle and the Mobilière have carried out a parallel study mandate for the development of the Toula site, the last unbuilt site bordering the old town. It is qualified by its location at the crossroads between the old town, the new railway station of Bulle and the commercial zone to the north. The project was selected for its urban approach, its relationship to the landscape environment of the region and its integration into the built environment. Hiris Images The "A la Croisée des Chemins" project is integrated in a complementarity between the lively street of the city center which animates the district and the more intimate spaces of an inhabited district. Indeed, two urban spaces are defined, the square an... More

Bourg 8

Originally, the existing building at rue de Bourg 8 consisted of two small 3-storey buildings, joined together in 1637. In 1746, they were raised by one floor and completely repaired. Since the 18th century, the facade on the street, as well as the interior, has undergone numerous modifications on the ground and first floors, in particular the creation of a slab that obstructs the inner courtyard and the creation of 2 shops on the ground floor. Thomas Jantscher The ground floor of the north facade serving the entrances has therefore been totally redesigned with a contemporary material that blends harmoniously with the historic facade preserved on the upper floors. The purified and luminous interior atmosphere brings the preserved an... More

Milwood Residence

Located in heart of the Venice neighborhood, the Milwood Residence is a 3,800 square foot single-family home created to connect its occupants and their surroundings. Sensible programmatic adjacency and an open floor plan define the spaces at ground level. Occupants can move freely between common spaces which extend to exterior spaces as well as vertically via a central circulation 'void' to the roof deck. The 'void' was achieved via a custom operable skylight which fills the space of the circulation core for the home and allows access to the roof deck. This solved an architectural problem common to homes in the area. Many homes in Venice have roof decks, however, the code only allows a small amount of space to extend above the bui... More
