If the authors had designed the house from scratch, they would not, by their own admission, place the stairs right in front of the entrance. However, in this case there was a certain zadannost: there already existed a large opening under it in the overlap between the first and second floors. The authors decided to turn this disadvantage into dignity and designed a magnificent staircase made of marble and tracery metal.

Besides the fact that this is an effective accent in the spirit of ar-deco, it is also an important factor in the zoning of space. Since a staircase appeared in front of the entrance area, the hall began to look like a logically separate room. A kitchen, dining room, living room, located in the open space of the first floor, acquired their current boundaries. (To do this, I had only to build a couple of columns in the kitchen area and correctly arrange the furniture.)
