Building on an existing framework and upcycled wood, the design for this staircase uses a variety of materials to create a rhythmic, minimalist cadence. As users ascend or descend, the staircase folds, frames and evolves by transforming alongside the user's path. The stair's wooden slats were crafted from reclaimed oak that was once the building's door jams, window frames and millwork. Milled down, sanded and repurposed these hand-crafted wood slats create a sense of biophilia and offer users a moment of inspired connection to time and place. The reuse of the concrete recalls the original staircase framework while offering a contemporary and minimalist approach; this raw concrete contrasted with the precise wood elements creates a diversity in material language. The result is a literal and figurative expression of design that grounds the space and offers a unique place for spontaneous collaboration. Careful consideration of construction strategies allowed for precision and execution.
