Escalier is a living, working and resting space, which serves as a multifunctional housing unit to the main house owner. The space features a large wood staircase, that serves as a stairway, storage unit, seating area, and most importantly, as a unique workspace. The second floor is an open-concept living space that circulates around the courtyard, featuring a kitchen, bedroom, bath, and rooftop access. As a parti, the stairway and courtyard serve as a cohesive central element to the house, seeking to maximize sustainability and multifunctionality within a small building envelope.
