The turn.
The connection.

Three oak steps lead up to the library, with angled treads fitted between the walls. At the top, the stair edge meets the longer boards of the library floor.

THE UNDERSIDE

More than
the view from above.

The open stairwell exposes another side of the work. Viewed from below, the oak surfaces and repeated tread edges become part of the architecture.

These two installation views focus on the meeting points: the oak edge beside the wall, and the floor where the wall meets the glazing. They show how the surrounding architecture shapes each piece.
