In the set of a architectural office project, the communicating elements between the areas play a vital role in the integration of all departments. Hallways, entrances, stairs or elevators They are structural elements that delimit and fix the distribution of space.

In the examples we have chosen, the stairs They are not only the axis around which the space is organized, but they have been used as unique aesthetic elements, that provide a distinctive value to the overall project.

Office staircase in a corkscrew

The backbone of these offices in Shanghai starts here corkscrew stairs en red metal sheet, which is accompanied by an art installation in the form of red ribbon, that runs through the seven floors of the building. The ribbon symbolizes “The dragon flies over the Yangtze,” a Chinese cultural motif that represents the strength, growth and prosperity.

Inspired by the company logo, the vibrant red ribbon creates a striking visual experience both inside and outside the building. In addition, it adds a bright color within view of the Huangpu River skyline, while reinforcing the company's brand.

The project required meticulous attention to detail to address the intricate geometry of the staircase and ensure the seamless integration of the installation of the 260-meter tape on all seven floors. 3D printing technology was used to verify dimensions and develop detailed models for all floors. This approach streamlined the construction process, reduced risks, and provided clear guidance to all stakeholders.

Stairs as communicating vessels of the building

The new campus of the technology company Bandwidth, Located in North Carolina, USA, it consolidates its former facilities spread across different sites into a single building. Thus, unified under one roof, each workstation is given equal design importance, with both individual and communal spaces designed to support the company's unique ways of working.

The entire internal structure is crossed by a imposing staircase made of local wood, which runs through the three floors of the building and culminates in a skylight. A large butterfly mobile hangs from the structure and gives life to this immense central space, with a small interior garden.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the staircase and installation of the tape improve vertical connectivity, which favors the interaction and collaboration between the plants. By integrating functionality with design, the space becomes a dynamic community hub.

Luxury, design and innovation

It is a distinctive sign of the offices of the United Arab Emirates the presence of luxurious materials in architectural structures, as demonstrated by this staircase in the offices of a real estate developer in Dubai.

With an area of ​​3500 m² spread over two floors, the brief was to create a workspace that would stand out in Dubai's competitive market, offering a unique combination of luxury and functionality.

The reception, set the standard for luxury and innovation majestic copper staircase evoking the Dubai sunset, the sculptural lamp and the ground of marble from Calacatta.

The project focused on offering an exceptional user experience, with interiors inspired by hotels and versatile facilities that meet modern business needs.

Bamboo frame staircase

The Magic Place Office-Life Experience Hall is located in a historic building in Shanghai and serves as the corporate headquarters and exhibition hall. By integrating fundamental materials such as metal, bamboo, wood and cement, A new reinterpretation was introduced into the space. The reception desk is a virtuoso work woven with bamboo and wood fibers, which resembles a huge wave enveloping the spiral staircase, and spirals upwards like a vortex to the second floor.

The high dividing walls, covered with golden artistic painting, are surrounded by a curved bamboo weave. The building's original beams are wrapped in mirrored stainless steel, concealing their structural presence and allowing the silver stainless steel and gold artistic paint to harmonize beautifully. This interplay of colors and textures creates a restrained yet dynamic spatial emotion. Like the shimmering surface of the sea at dawn, full of infinite possibilities, the bamboo curves They act as transition waves, creating the visual focal point most striking in space.

We close our tour with another prodigious design in a Chinese office in Shenzhen: the Institute of International Affairs, which fosters knowledge sharing, academic collaboration, feedback and debate, as well as the development of cooperation interdisciplinary and innovation between countries.

In the renovation, the different floors were unified to make way for a spectacular wooden staircase which connects the entrance with the first floor, flanked by two impressive bookstores. This entry encapsulates the spirit of the project: creating multiple ways to connect different floors to promote flow and communication between employees and visitors.
