Up and down and round and round. Multilevel living spiraling up a set of stairs. Each floor level differs by only 75 cm from the previous one and for now offers 10 levels of continuous space. Stair House in Almelo, the Netherlands by Onix.

Like a daisy crown woven in spring, a climber rose winding upwards, the filligree icing on a wedding cake. A most beautiful staircase by Rotterdam based Maxwan architects + urbanists.

Returning from Brazil in the late 19th century Portuguese migrants brought not only new wealth but architectural influences from their adopted country. Who would have known that a chi chi alpine chalet design would have been popular in Brazil at the time? Fast forward to the 21st century and the”Chalé das Três Esquinas” (Three Cusps Chalet) in Braga, Portugal was in desperate need of repair. Tiago do Vale Arquitectos have breathed new life into the crumbling building with a lightness, a transparency that is defined by the sinuous original staircase that rises through the newly opened spaces. A modern work and live space in a reborn historic building.

Beautiful and inspiring. The perfect spot to put pen to paper and create even more beautiful and inspiring spaces. From the portfolio of architect Virginia Kerridge.
