Incredible Stairs

When it comes to architecture, I have a bit of an obsession with stairs. In my opinion, stairs can make or break the continuity of any architectural design. It either creates the moment in which two spaces connect or it works only as a functioning way to travel between levels. So when I saw this set on SmallProjects.com I new I had to share it. Faced with the design challenge of fitting a staircase into a narrow space between two walls and the desire to not block off light to the areas below. Small Projects came up with the ingenius idea of utilizing perforated steel sheeting to create treads and risers. The sheets of steel were bent into place and then pin mounted to the wall to supply the structural integrity for the stairs, while creating a surreal sense that the stairs float in the space.
