Objet élevé is an installation in three parts that functions as a connection between two floors while also offering space to work, collect and store. The project has been designed by Studio Mieke Meijer for the residence of Just Haasnoot in Wassenaar.

The industrial character of Objet élevé stands in strong contrast to the elegant 1930’s residence and transforms a high-traffic area into a memorable residential room.
The construction, built from both standing and suspended parts, largely consists of open frames allowing the design’s transparent character to be maintained. Using the samba stairs principle made it possible to realize a steep staircase that is still comfortable to walk.
