To SPA, a staircase is not just a means of getting from one floor to another; stairs are not seen as a pesky tripping hazard either. SPA are passionate about adding movement to all their buildings and stairs are an effective and practical way of doing this. From stairs which look almost like an origami sculpture to stairs integrating original and new sections, SPA always looks to create staircases which are imaginative and add something special to the logic and character of the building, both in its design and its placement.
