The AutoFabrica stair design consists of pointed steps suspended from the ceiling

using metal wires. The design choice of using sharp edges is to reinforce the sleek and

Cyberpunk style of the basement. Additionally, the set of stairs create an illusion of

movement and depth when viewed from the angle of descent, which reflects the

progressive nature of AutoFabrica's work.

the path downwards appears smooth and progress diagonally

In contrast with the sharpness of the basement stairs, the stairs to BernabeiFreeman

focus on softness and comfort, highlighted in the pastel colours and the curved outline.

A significant design choice is the integration of the staircase with the surrounding walls,

through the sloped transition from staircase to ceiling.
