As the lower portion of one of the main staircases, the feature glass stair at ground floor aims to disappear on the eye of the guests allowing breathtaking views towards the sea. Stainless steel and structural glass materialise this stair in an industrial but carefully crafted language. Two additional external steel stairs bring a pop of colour using a similar language (opposite page).
