Kendalls Hall staircase, UK
The stair as the heart of the house…interactive…connecting…all circulation united into one space…a white skin wrapping it…a blanket of timber…a sky of bronze…the wires as a mathematical game… spaces created, glimpsed. The memories of life, of those lived and those yet to be made… for spirituality…for mind and soul… to surprise and inspire.
A principal challenge was how to bring a feeling of lightness to the centre of a house with a deep floor plan and no natural light from above. How could we transform the most uncomfortable space into the most uplifting, inspiring and dynamic part of the house; the heart that beats life into it?
‘...to me, the process of making work and the process of looking at it, is about trying to regain one’s balance from a situation of constant falling into distraction.’ Antony Gormley, ‘Making Space Taking Place’
