I was fascinated by the many staircases in Elcho Castle. I thought it worth experimenting with the spatial experience of having separate but contiguous areas in a contemporary house. Each upper plan is separated into 2 independent sides with their own staircases which can join in the main hall or have independent access from the entrance.
The main ground floor stair defines a procession from the entrance to the main living floor. The main living floor can be accessed by all 3 stairs: the main floor and the 2 smaller stairs.
