From: Christian Duvernoi Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 2010 11:50 PM To: Jeffrey Epstein Subject: Re: ltr.1=1.7;s not exactly a service stair but rather an alternative one to leave you=a personal staircase to the bike parking. Both stairs will be treated=with the same aesthetic attention, and therefore will be no more obtrusive =o the view than the stairs to the bike parking. The symmetry of the d=uble staircase will in fact make it look less like a "service" =tair and more like an appropriate architectural feature. Furthermore,=by turning the last set of stairs parallel to the road, it allows the pedes=rian realm (stairs and sidewalk) and the vehicular realm (road) to be separ=ted with a wall, which will provide a softer transition from walkway to roa=. If you would prefer to remove the double staircase, and instead jus= have one stair to the bike parking, then that is perfectly viable. Finally= with an appropriate planting scheme (low- growing, wind tolerant plants) th= visibility of the final sequence of stairs from the kitchen window will be=negligible. christian you made a service stair„ directly in line =ith the kitchen view. why? it makes no sense. 1 EFTA_R1_00133603 EFTA01797194
