Floating Stairs


These stairs are delightful. They're by Iconstrux Architecture and are part of a renovated "Vancouver Special" house. (Image from Contemporist.com).

Museo del Acero

This museum, designed by Grimshaw Architects, is a restored 1960's blast furnace. I think it's a great example of both restoration and color use. The architects were able to take a derelict structure and turn it into a city landmark. That's pretty impressive and I love the use of bright yellow, which really stands out against the industrial metal. (Image from Architectural Record)
