We’re building a round staircase in our little Victorian, inspired by Cycladic architecture, shells and a stringed instrument. At least, that’s how I’ve imagined it in my mind’s eye. So, every time I see a staircase that defies the norm, I stop and pay attention. This concrete beauty is sculpture, and I love the quiet elegance of this staircase here. The staircase at Palazzo Biscari is pure whimsy and romance.
