Staircase Tower Designs & Ideas
ARCO Arquitectura ContemporáneaMore than the privileged location of this penthouse -situated on top of Tower A of Las Nubes residential- this ample space has a grand mezzanine with no structural elements that fragment the areas. It has two levels; social and service areas were located on the first and private areas on the second. It has four terraces that communicate with the most important areas through floor to ceiling windows and the central terraces have double height windows.
The axis of the space are the hallways where the elevators arrive and where a spiral staircase -covered with Zebrano wood and ivory marble with tempered glass railings- was located to communicate the two levels. The project stands out for the functionality of the space and the contemporary design integrated by important architectural elements.
Cream ivory marble was selected for walls and floors on the first level and was combined with zebrano wood wall covers to hide some doors and storage areas. On the second level was installed a sliding door made of zebrano wood and textured acrylic to separate the public and private areas. The floors have oak board and in the double height family room a big red box was suspended. It has perforations that allow the flow natural light during the day and is indirectly lighted during the night creating a cozy atmosphere.
The residential complex Las Nubes was awarded by the IMEI and has the most advanced technology for the rational consumption of all the resources. The penthouse was also equipped in accordance to the standards and has lighting controls, distributed audio in 6 areas, motorized blinds and central air conditioning system.
Donald A. Gardner ArchitectsThe main level begins with the grand foyer that overlooks an open staircase and out into the sprawling great room, where a towering hearth and custom ceiling design draw the eye upward. The breathtaking dining room is completely open to a huge gourmet kitchen, and leads to both screened and covered rear porches. A series of bay windows on the rear of the home maximizes views from every room, and decorative ceilings add volume.
Concepto StudioEchoing a fusion of modernity with elements of traditional design, this penthouse within a towering high-rise artfully pairs contemporary elegance with meaningful nods to its family’s Indian heritage. The 4000-square-foot home spread across two floors and four bedrooms has been designed for a couple in their early 40s, their daughter, and their parents who visit regularly. Upon entering the front door, one is greeted in the foyer below a floating staircase. The crystal light with brass detailing gives a visual peek into the brass accent points across the rest of the home—from the grouting within the marble flooring and brass inlay on the walls to the table legs and knobs on the furniture. A trio of gilded mirrors and a hand-carved console table sit beside an intricate Indian shoe cabinet—the first of many thoughtful fusions of new and old. The foyer features warm golden oak floors and custom brass inlaid tiles, setting the tone for refined materials to come.

Tom Hurt ArchitecturePlywood panels are used in many parts of the home. The fairly generic material is used in ways which highlight its utilitarian beauty as well as to express just how the elements of the architecture are made.
