Mount Holyoke Rebuild
An exceptional residential interior precedent showcasing a sculptural white helical staircase with timber treads and integrated plaster shelving, creating a serene, light-filled spatial sequence.
- What we like about this project
- The monolithic white stair balustrade flows seamlessly out of the floor and ceiling planes without visible structural joints.

- Geometry
- An asymmetrical sculptural spiral staircase anchors the left foreground, drawing the eye down a linear hallway framed by recessed wall shelving and terminating in a sunlit courtyard view.
- Structural guess
- Self-supporting spiral stair structure with lightweight interior partitions.
- Spatial scale
- Generous residential scale with a multi-story open vertical core around the spiral staircase.
- Lighting
- Warm morning sunlight streams from the right and through central glazing, casting long horizontal shadows across the pale timber floorboards.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, airy, and sun-drenched with organic textures softening the clean plaster geometry.
- Environmental context
- High-end residential interior with an internal courtyard providing natural light and exterior greenery to the core.
- Spatial experience
- The eye is greeted by the soft, sweeping curve of the stair before moving through the light-filled central axis past built-in niches toward living spaces beyond.
- Composition rhythm
- A rhythmic progression of recessed bookshelves down the right wall contrasts with the fluid, single-gesture curve of the stair on the left.
