A Staircase Holds the Dusk

A single interior compresses circulation, structure, and late light into repeating lines.

staircase / railings / gridded windows / Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond, Virginia / warm light

Overlapping stairs and tubular rails draw a warm geometry against tall windows.

Concrete stair flights cross the frame in opposing diagonals while rounded railings fold back through several levels. Tall gridded windows admit warm light behind the dense structure, separating illuminated edges from deep interior shadow.
