THE STAIRCASE
A continuous staircase functions as a unifying architectural feature and connects the three levels of the house. It is also a light shaft, built of reflecting and translucent materials:
“The three levels of the house are linked by a continuous glass and steel staircase.
The landings are also glass in order to transmit as much natural light throughout the house as possible”, says Seth Stein and continues:
“The diffusion of light through translucent floors and walls creates an illusion of greater space”.

THE BATHROOM
On the 1st floor of the house, where the bedroom and bathroom are situated, the architects have again challenged the normal view that daylight enters through windows in walls.
As an example, the roof in the bathroom opens – VELUX roof windows ensure both light and a view. Here, one can lie in the bath and watch drifting clouds and the stars.
