Self build, Denmark, by Tommy Rand
Located on the outskirts of Aarhus, this self-build house by Tommy Rand features a spiral staircase made using CNC-cut plywood.
At the entrance to the home, a full-height square window frames the large wooden spiral staircase. It was constructed using 630 pieces of plywood which were pieced and glued together by hand on-site.
The intricate detail and warmth of the staircase contrast with the home's concrete and minimalist interiors.

In The Park, China, by AIM Architecture An off-white fibreglass staircase with red-hued steps is the focal point of this clothing store in Shanghai. It was designed by local studio AIM Architecture, taking inspiration from a suburban skate bowl.
Upon entering the store, visitors are greeted by the 4.2-metre-tall structure that wraps around concrete columns much like the form of a children's slide, leading customers on a red, winding path through the store.
