s Bold Step is a colorful, durable solution for stair treads, stair nosings, and safety walkway treads. Districts are faced with the growing problem of abuse to handrails, stair nosings, planting bed edges and walls from skateboarders and roller bladers. Its beautifully chosen cherry-wood floor makes the place warm and welcoming, and indeed the austere elegant greyness and transparency of the whole space is made cheerful with deft touches of ruddy wood: red oak ceilings in the galleries, wooden furniture in the offices, wood strip walls round the dining area, and even wood on the nosings of the spiral stairs - a detail that could have been clumsy, but which serves here to make the cold steel and glass more approachable. |
