General Motors Building, 49th Floor. Spiral glass staircase suspended from ceiling. In collaboration with Gensler, the clients sought a stunning centerpiece for their new office, forty-nine floors above Manhattan’s streets. A glass curved staircase. The design was a challenge. Less support. More details. And suspended a half inch off the floor. We have never seen nor fabricated a staircase more technically difficult to execute.
