BIASA Boutique and Art Gallery

Main concrete staircase reflected in the bronze mirror wall.

Words from the architect

Realized in 2007, in Jakarta, in the Kemang district, the project of the Biasa Showroom is grafted onto a confined and long lot and it is developed on four floors. The first two floors are Boutique while the upper two floors are for the Art Gallery.

The concrete staircase with the G elements.

The main expressive point is the reinforced concrete staircase in the heart of the boutique. It is realized with a series of elements. These elements are profiles with a rectangular section folding up following a G shape. They have been realized on site in reinforced concrete in different heights following the height of the steps. The upper part of the G profile is the step of the staircase, while the lower one becomes the exhibition of the shop.

The concrete staircase with the G elements.

It's not a traditional staircase anymore. It follows this idea of mixing two different functions, the vertical connection and exhibition. Moreover this staircase is stand alone by the structural point of view, because it is not connected to the wall, but each G element sustains itself.
