A clean, classic palette of neutral colors contributes to the simple elegance of this design, gracefully integrating glass entries, sweeping staircases, and modern artwork. The terrazzo responds perfectly to the architecture in this well-executed, cohesive design. Two grand staircases anchor each end of the terrazzo installation, the first a conical spiral, wrapping around glass artwork. Each step was poured in place following the installation of glass tile risers. The second, a floating staircase consists of poured terrazzo landings and self-supporting precast treads. The staircases are connected by 33,000 square feet of epoxy terrazzo.
