Light and Air Architecture reimagined the idea and function for the staircase in this Bed-Stuy townhouse. It celebrates an area of the house that is usually left alone, or the last item on a priority list. However In this case the switchback stair becomes the catalyst for connecting spaces both visually and functionally in an effective intervention that pays dividends by critically rethinking what these turn-of-the century houses mean a hundred years later for contemporary family living.
