Statement stairs…

When you enter the property, your eye is immediately drawn to the timbertread spiral staircases leading up to the gallery areas above. “e flights have a sculptural quality to them”, says architect Roderick James, who designed the house. “e division between the galleries and the rest of the house works well. We didn’t use conventional balustrading and instead took it right up to the roof. is gives a partial separation that still allows you to feel that you’re within a part of the overall space, even from the upper levels”.
