Homes With Insta-worthy Staircases

Briana Gonzalez

We see them everyday- born out of necessity, a means of transport, or perhaps for safety. What was once a thing of elegance, from winding spiral staircases to grand arched double staircases, stairs had quickly become part of the mundane, an after-thought to many. Recently, the evolution of stairs has come around full circle. More and more homeowners are considering the staircase as an integral part of the aesthetic of their home design. Using different materials like metal, wood, and concrete, to match the look of the residence, many are making the staircase a focal point of the home. No longer just for function, these homes include the craftsmanship and creativity of what we are beginning to see in the staircase- working almost like a sculpture.

12 Warren

Tribeca’s most sculptural and avant-garde building to-date, 12 Warren is home to an architecturally driven Townhouse South, an exquisite residence largely defined by a striking sculptural staircase partly finished in board-formed concrete. The eye-catching staircase spans the three levels of the home, weaving a unique design moment that harkens back to the building's bluestone façade throughout the residence. Developed and designed by DDG, the two-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-powder room triplex residence features ceilings up to 22 feet in height, as well as a number of special architectural details including board-formed concrete ceilings, bluestone accents connecting back to the building’s facade, and deep planter boxes with lush greenery.

30 Park Place

Stern and offers 157 ultra-luxury condominiums, including a penthouse selection of 11 half- and full-floor homes, set atop The Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown. Occupying the first 24 floors of the tower and known for its five-star services, experiences, and amenities, The Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown features interiors by famed hospitality duo, Yabu Pushelberg. Making a bold modern statement within the pre-war inspired tower, the grand staircase that leads from the lobby to upstairs event space is one of the focal points of the building. Accessible to 30 Park Place residents, owners may use the secret door that is tucked within the condo lobby, allowing ease between the two spaces without ever having to go outside.

56 Leonard

The critically acclaimed 60-story tower conceived by world-renowned Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron, has officially unveiled its amenity space this week.
