Promoting connectivity through intentional design

A notable feature is the monumental staircase that seamlessly connects the 46th, 47th, and 48th floors. Beyond its visual appeal, this staircase enhances inter-floor connectivity and promotes movement throughout the office. Designed with open, biophilic elements, it serves as a focal point that encourages spontaneous interactions and engagement. The construction team worked closely with the design firm to ensure that the staircase met both structural requirements and aesthetic goals, making it a central element of the office’s new layout.
