The designer mentions, ‘I wanted the staircase to be the centerpiece of the building. This creature undulates in the space, shaping and pervading it. This huge half-whale and half-snake chimera, snatches you, swallows you up and spits you out at the right floor’.

The wood, parametric sculpture has a biomorphic structure, much like a tornado in a mindfully serene office environment.

The staircase has been produced by KOZAC, and each of the stair treads have hidden lighting beneath them.

The offices have been kept intentionally minimalist, with the staircase and the reception area drawing the eye of visitors to the office.
