Sky Central
An interior precedent for large corporate atriums utilizing a monumental timber stair and multi-level glass-balconied walkways to foster connectivity.
- What we like about this project
- The central stair splits and merges around intermediate landings, acting as both vertical transit and social amphitheater.

- Geometry
- Symmetrical multi-level atrium centered on a wide, monumental timber stair spanning across open floor plates.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame with composite timber and concrete floor decks supporting a glazed timber roof grid.
- Spatial scale
- Monumental multi-story atrium; the central stair is extra wide, accommodating numerous people simultaneously.
- Lighting
- Bright, diffused overhead daylight filtering through a glazed timber-framed atrium roof, supplemented by warm interior linear lighting.
- Atmosphere
- Vibrant, luminous, and social, defined by warm wood tones and clean white structural elements.
- Environmental context
- Indoor corporate workplace atrium with open office and dining areas visible in the background.
- Spatial experience
- Open, highly connected circulation hub with expansive sightlines across multiple stacked floor plates and balconies.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating white structural columns and vertical safety balustrades frame horizontal layers of timber floor plates.
