From construction to the Met Gala spotlight!

Designed by BKSK, this custom spiral staircase at The Surrey, A Corinthia Hotel, became a defining backdrop for some, during this year’s Met Gala. Located within the signature duplex penthouse, the sculptural stair connects two levels while serving as the residence’s architectural centerpiece — designed to create a sense of movement, drama, and arrival.

BKSK led the comprehensive renovation and rebranding of the historic 1926 landmark, restoring the building’s exterior character while reimagining the interiors and residences for contemporary luxury living.

Spotted on Kendall Jenner’s IG, this is a moment where architecture, hospitality, and fashion converged.
