While on assignment to photograph a bathroom in a home in San Diego, I was seduced by the geometry and shapes of the central staircase. Even though it was ‘Not on the shot list” and I was pressed for time, I felt compelled to make this image.
The architect describes the staircase like this- “the root of the design is a central circulation core. An axial core intersecting at the home’s center in the horizontal and vertical directions acts as a gallery for the clients art and sculptures while also creating a logical flow and connection between all spaces. The stairway, is articulated in a way to allow the maximum transparency while at the same time flooding the home’s interior core with light via skylights at the stairway roof.”

Great photo but the architect should have his tongue cut out for those first two sentences.
