A conversion of a cramped and outdated apartment into a lively, modern apartment for a young professional couple. The height of the space was utilized and expanded to create a loft space for a home office above which is accessed via a spiral stair designed both functionally and sculpturally to occupy the least amount of space possible while creating a cascading feeling from the loft to the floor.
