More often, what comes to mind are charming beach cottages or small, white-washed homes with tiled roofs. However, modern <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">island <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">abodes are starting to capture the imagination, in no small part because they effortlessly exemplify the best of sophisticated indoor-outdoor living.

The cool feel of a marble waterfall kitchen <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">island<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, dazzling backsplash, and steel-framed windows play against the warmth of the floor-to-ceiling wood cabinetry.

While the connection is necessary, should a staircase blend with the surroundings so that the views beyond aren&#8217;t interrupted, or should they make a statement? On occasion, the answer is both.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Referred to as a &#8220;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">contemporary <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">masterpiece,&#8221; a stunning Ocean Club Estates property on Paradise <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Island<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Nassau (repped by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bettermcrbahamas.com\/sales\/detail\/585-l-587-47265\/3-3-ocean-club-estates-ocean-club-estates-paradise-island-np\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better Homes &amp; Gardens Real Estate MCR Bahamas<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) answered the question of how to create a spectacular staircase without obstructing the ocean views. The developer built a &#8220;glass stairway leading to the second and third floors, backed by an amazing wall of glass.&#8221; In fact, the individual steps, panels, railing, and mid-way landing are all made from glass.\u00a0This decision allows for continuous views from the living room, bar, and upper bedrooms \u2013 and at every point in-between.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expansive pools often sit between homes and the rest of the yard for easy access and privacy. While pathways may be built for lower-level access to the gardens, the upper floors are left to internal staircases. A homeowner in Italy puzzled over how to make an elegant (yet practical) connection to the upper floors from outside. And while the home is not on an <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">island<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the solution devised by Milad Eshtiyaghi Studio is acting as inspiration to many owners of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">contemporary island houses <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">who long to create artful connections across their properties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this case, the studio built what is known as &#8220;the Stairway <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">House<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&#8221; According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydomaine.com\/modern-architecture-homes-5193935\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My Domaine<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the designers crafted an awe-inspiring &#8220;stairway [that] crosses over the pool like a bridge, bringing access closer to the main entrance of the yard, while also creating a cool reflection in the pool.&#8221; The staggered stairway itself makes a statement in white as it gently climbs to the upper floor.
