The staircase pops up like a display case in the center of the apartment, enabling a double-decker view of the master bedroom and the dining room. "We wanted it to be like a floating object in the space," says Richardson, visible below. The banisters are three eight-inch-thick glass panes; the steps have a particularly low rise, to accommodate the dogs, and are wrapped in forgiving industrial rubber. For the small but cozy master bedroom, UT custom-designed the bed, upholstered in taupe Ultrasuede — the dogs got a custom Ultrasuede step to match. The polished curtain, at rear, is a Covington polyester lined with blackout material to increase the cocoonlike feel. The sheets are Ralph Lauren.
