Duplex Santa María is a sophisticated apartment located in Bogotá’s most prominent residential project.

 

It’s design integrates two 100 m2 units on different levels of the tower, connected by a staircase that serves as a disruptive element in the design. The open concept is reflected in a spacious social area, where meticulous selection of materials, colors, and objects create an ambiance characterized by its contemporary, elegant, and sober interior design.

 

The staircase, library, and island are conceived as architectural elements, compact and versatile, defining and adapting the spaces according to their use and the moment of inhabiting them, without interrupting the openness and spaciousness of the monospace.

The Stair as an sculpture

In this project, the aim was to implement a system of connection between levels that wouldn’t affect the reticular structure and would allow for an efficient distribution of spaces in the apartment, avoiding the loss of area in circulation zones.

 

To achieve this, a spiral metal staircase was designed, which not only became a sculptural element but also the focal point of the project during the design process. This staircase, resembling a functional piece of art, plays a crucial role as a separator, dividing the social lounge from the kitchen and the service area of the apartment. On the second level, the staircase serves as the main distributor, connecting the rooms that make up the private area of the dwelling.
