Storey’s Field, Cambridge
Commissioned by the University of Cambridge, the RIBA Award winning Storey’s Field Community Centre was designed for the new community of Eddington in North West Cambridge.
The aim of the centre is to provide a flexible, open and welcoming space for the new community, so they can come together with people from Cambridge and the surrounding area.
Spiral UK were selected to design, install and manufacture the magnificent sculptural spiral staircase that is in the main hall. The beautiful shape and colour of this commercial spiral staircase perfectly complements the overall design of the building. It demonstrates the imaginative visual effect that can be achieved while also complying with all commercial staircase regulations in the UK.
