This patterned glass staircase forms the centrepiece of an apartment in Hong Kong, and leads up through a skylight to a roof terrace overlooking the bay.<\/p>\n

British architect Luke Lowings of Carpenter Lowings worked with American sculptor James Carpenter on the design for the stand-alone staircase, which forms the center project\u00a0of the newly renovated\u00a0apartment. When closed, the skylight frames a view of the sky that is reflected in a pair of large structure glass screens partially enclosing the staircase. These glass screens are printed with a linear pattern that is intended to be evocative of falling rain. Together with the reflections and veined marble surfaces of the hall, they create a disorienting effect.

Above it, the four-metre-wide skylight in the roof helps to bring natural light into the interior, but also folds open to provide access to the roof.\u00a0The skylight is raised by two hydraulic rams. It has in-built sensors that prevent it from closing on obstructions.
\nFor safety reasons, an\u00a0alarm sounds as the glass door shuts, helping to prevent residents from being accidentally trapped on the roof.<\/p>\n
