The steps feature a box-type structure covered with stone cladding on the exterior.
The three-step platform at the base serves as a transition, making the initial ascent gentler and
adding a sense of ease to moving up and down. Paired with transparent, frameless glass railings, the
overall design presents a clean and uncluttered aesthetic.
In terms of load-bearing, the embedded structure on the wall side bears the primary cantilever load,
while the glass railing on the opposite side shares part of the load. The box-shaped treads provide
excellent rigidity; the addition of stone cladding and trim panels on the exterior gives the entire
staircase a more cohesive visual appearance and ensures a solid, secure feel during daily use.
