: This minimalist flight is the result of collaboration between architects TAP, who came up with the design, and Gray & Dick, who engineered the staircase

A lack of structure beneath the steps creates the illusion of a floating flight, which will leave visitors in awe, trying to work out how it’s being supported.
Designs range from minimalist open treads (gaps between the steps) with glass balustrades that are barely visible, through to solid structures that wind upwards, topped with elaborate handrails for extra flourish.
