It’s extremely rare that a real estate purchase happens without an iota of hesitation. But when the duplex penthouse above one New York couple’s seventh-floor simplex became available, they didn’t waver. Hired to join the three floors into a cohesive 3,780-square-foot aerie, INC Architecture & Design<\/a> didn’t hesitate either, seizing the (equally rare) opportunity to create a statement staircase in a Manhattan apartment. The mesmerizing result evokes a massive conch shell, with iridescent plaster walls enfolding cantilevered bleached-maple treads that spiral around a cascading blown-glass chandelier.<\/p>\n

While the stair may be the grand gesture in the four-bedroom residence, firm principals Drew Stuart<\/a>, Adam Rolston<\/a>, and Gabriel Benroth<\/a> had an even bigger objective in mind: telling the story of the homeowners, an art collecting couple with two kids. “Our work is a kind of portraiture,” Stuart explains. “For us, a project must be completely driven by the client’s personality.” In this case, they focused on the wife, who served as primary point person and inspiration. The trio met with her weekly, using their special brand of design psychoanalysis to tap into a unifying theme that spoke to her unique taste.<\/p>\n
