La amplia escalera conduce al rellano del entresuelo del primer piso, con escalones de mármol hechos a medida, balaustrada de vidrio curvo y barandilla de acero negro que crean un llamativo efecto monocromático.
La cocina con zona de desayuno ofrece impresionantes vistas al jardín y a las colinas de Ochil, vistas desde ventanas triples de altura completa.
