The challenge was to fit a staircase in a very specific position, with a few height and radius constraints. 

I approached the design from the materiality which informed my choices for the dimensions and shapes possible in such a remote area in Romania. 

The staircase is fully modeled in Grasshopper: the incredible advantage of the parametric model once completed was varying the thickness of the wooden planks depending on availability of different wood types, and have the staircase react and redraw itself while holding true to accessibility ratios for steps and headroom. 

Though looking incredibly smooth and modern, it was possible to build it on site with very simple means, and the assembly was straightforward–the wooden elements slid into place over a steel pillar and were simply glued together.
