Newport Street Gallery houses stunning work from Damien Hirst’s expansive art collection, but the gallery, designed by architecture firm Caruso St John, also contains three extremely photogenic staircases. Each of them is a slightly different shape and with slightly different lighting from windows and skylights, but all of them feature wonderfully tactile timber stairs and are lined with brick walls.
This is my take on the central ovoid spiral, looking down from the upper level, which seemed to me to have the right sense of proportion between the path of the stairs, the patterns in the wall and the fluid and somewhat whimsical shape of the balustrade.
