The Stairs

The Floating Stair
- This stair provides access to the Revival Cycles floor.
- Suspended on wires it is meant to give an idea of floating in the air.
- Is split by a ramp allowing the movement of Revival Cycles products and sculptures to and from the exhibition space.
- The stair is designed to be made out of steel, suspended with cables.

The Curved Wooden Stair:
- This stair provides access to the Steinway & Sons floor.
- Rails have been left out so that the stair maintains the feeling of openness within the space, allowing a clearer view of the feature wall.
- It is designed to be made with wooden treads with a steel streamer and open risers.

- As the piano's constructed by Steinway & Sons are to large to navigate up or down conventional stairs, an access ramp has been constructed at the rear of the building.
