MAISONEVE
A narrow townhouse where the stair became the only room that mattered.

Maison Alder

Brussels, Belgium

Information

Four metres wide and five storeys tall. Rather than fight the proportion we made the stair generous at the expense of everything else, and the house reads as far larger than its floor area.

Scope Of Work

  • Architectural Planning

    Floors kept where they were. Only the stair moved, and it moved to the front.

  • Interior Styling

    Pale plaster and alder, chosen to bounce what little light the street gives.

  • Furniture Specification

    Built in almost everywhere, because there is no room for anything freestanding.

  • Lighting & Atmosphere

    A single roof light over the stair carries all five floors.
