Studio A is working with a local client to incorporate an ambitious stair system into a renovation of a 19th century home in the Charleston, SC, historic district. This project is guided by the owner’s principle of “Light.”
The stair system is capped by a large rooftop monitor that pours light through the bannisters that span the stairs from first floor treads to third story ceiling. The stairs themselves mix forms and tighten as they ascend, creating a sophisticated drama of light and space.
