It is mainly an interior project and from the street it is unassuming. It has a series of LEDs that changes and has a vague pattern that changes.

Upon entering the store, you will see and walk pass the stairs that leads to the basement.
These shots are looking back towards the entry.
Then the real drama is when you see the main stairs that connects all floors.
Looking back down from the first bend
First large landing. Check the handrail
Looking back down to that first large landing.
First floor. You may be able to see that it also serves as a bridge between the two sides of the stair void on this level.
The outer edges of the stairs and the glazing.
Overview from the top.
Stair tread profile and detail.
That's all I have.
Crazy cool stairs. The stair shots look like the Guggenheim coming unraveled. The exterior IS pretty unassuming.
Is the stairs plastered? What poor tradesman had to figure this out?
Yes, plastered.Originally Posted by jake

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

To be honest, I can't remember exactly. Someone might correct me, but I thought they were painted steel. You can see the folding of the steel plate for each tread from one of the underside shots.
