Urban Oasis with Social Staircase

This government-led community project reimagines urban leisure through a biophilic design lens. Centered around a monumental timber staircase that vertically integrates the space, the center fosters spontaneous interaction between its dual functions: a vibrant ground floor with a Starbucks, craft retail, and beer bar for casual socialization, and an upper level housing a serene library, activity studios, and a fully equipped gym. The exposed wooden surfaces create tactile warmth, while the stair's amphitheater-like seating transforms into an impromptu cinema or reading nook, embodying a fluid transition between private contemplation and public engagement. By merging commercial vitality with cultural enrichment, this space becomes both a sanctuary for urban workers and a catalyst for neighborhood cohesion.
