This 1:12 detail model depicts the Dangozaka House’s largest staircase, which arguably best represents the Japanese home- and SANAA’s design- as a whole. Connecting 4 variations in levels, the detail acts as a threshold responding to the home’s raumplan nature. The stair structure also surrounds a hidden pocket of comfort, formed by the thoughtful relationship between the staircase and adjacent post-and-beam wood construction- both represented in this model through 3mm balsa wood.
