The $19 million duplex apartment shown above has a pretty peculiar floorplan. The space, which was created by adjoining two stacked apartments, unfortunately allocates its first floor to bedrooms and its second floor to its principal rooms. Not only that, it also hides the staircase off in a corner where nobody can see it. But maybe these oddities aren't so bad? Says the broker:
When presented with the task of duplexing two separate 2500 square foot residences, architect Joel Jevis rose to the occasion. Creatively, Mr. Jevis designed this masterful residence with entertaining and living space on one level and sleeping quarters discreetly located on the lower. The curvature staircase that separates the two floors has been carefully positioned as not to intrude upon the living space.Yeah, we're not buying it. Since when do staircases really intrude on the living space rather than add to its interest? Seems like an excuse for a lazy duplexing scheme.
