This staircase evokes delicacy and beauty as an immediate reaction. The staircase is innovative and simplistic. This staircase is interesting because even though it is delicate there is an element of danger. It is not very functional and offers little safety for the user.

The ribbon staircase is located in the main living area of a house it is open to the space which makes circulation easy for the user.

It is mounted onto the left side of a wall. This staircase is not very ergonomical and would mean the user would need to be cautious whilst using it as it is so open. The simplistic colours work in contrast with the white surrounding walls. It has a very minimalist feel and being so open allows the light to respond well. The staircase is constructed from 10mm thick sheet metal. Pairs of adjoining steps connected with an oblique external side joist form a bracket anchored in the wall. Each of the brackets is constructed as a rigid frame. The higher steps bear mainly drawing forces, while pressure is transmitted through the lower steps.

Interesting use of colour in a minimalistic space.

Inspirational Staircases

Tiger and Turtle Magic Mountain is an abstract sculpture.

First impressions show what seems to be a rollercoaster ride. The design mimics the curves, loops and height of a rollercoaster. It is a bold and intriguing design. Visitors can climb onto the sculpture where it meets the ground, but a loop-the-loop at the centre prevents anyone being able to walk a full circuit. Once the user reaches the highest peak of 45 meters above ground they are rewarded with a view over the landscape of the Western Ruhr. The location of the sculpture is upon a hilltop in Duisburg, Germany. The sculpture is outside and is well lit by the daylight and at night is lit up by LED rail lights. The walkable outdoor sculpture is made up of zinc plated steel.
