Allure of the Freestanding Helical Staircase | Space and Design

In the heart of one of Kolkata’s elegant neighborhoods, Mumbaibased architect Nitin Barchha of Studio Humus, and local interior designer Pooja Bihani of Spaces and Design, respectively, have designed a spectacular residence. The standout feature of this project is a freestanding helical staircase anchoring a lofty 22ft ceiling, with a unique conch-shaped bathroom tucked at its base.

Acknowledging this uniqueness Nitin affirms, “It anchors the entire house, a composition rarely seen in apartments anywhere.” Crafted from ferrocrete, the staircase’s artistic helical design gracefully leads to the upper floor, where four bedrooms await.
