An educational interior precedent demonstrating how sculptural white staircases and warm timber surfaces can animate a multi-level public atrium.
- What we like about this project
- The complex interlocking diagonal paths of the upper staircases create an almost Escher-like geometry when viewed from below.

- Geometry
- A grand multi-level atrium volume intersected by sculptural white staircases and mezzanine walkways arranged around a central open well.
- Structural guess
- Steel and concrete frame supporting open floor plates and cantilevered stair assemblies.
- Spatial scale
- Large-scale institutional atrium spanning multiple vertical stories with high ceilings.
- Lighting
- Bright, even ambient illumination complemented by integrated downlights set between linear acoustic baffles.
- Atmosphere
- Clean, bright, and orderly with a welcoming natural warmth from the timber finishes.
- Environmental context
- Interior public circulation space within a civic or educational institution.
- Spatial experience
- The expansive ground plane draws the eye upward through layered floor plates and interconnected circulation paths.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating vertical louvers on the ceiling grid align with the rhythmic vertical balustrades of the multi-story railings.
