KJL Apt

combines two separate units into one with a light-box winding stair.

KJL Apt combines a small apartment with a utility space below for an expanding family. The only possible location for the convenience stair was located directly in front of a window. By using polycarbonate for the guardrails, stair infill, walls, and doors, we are able to bring much more light into the lower level space.
