Website

Red Stair was commissioned by the City of Melbourne as a component of the Sandridge precinct renewal at the Yarra’s edge.

More than just an iconic form, Red Stair works triple-time to help create a truly successful urban space. The high back wall cuts the wind, hides a roadway leading to the tunnel underneath and also book-ends Queensbridge Square.

This creates a sense of enclosure to the urban space, effectively resulting in a modern piazza at the confluence of Southbank, the Casino, Freshwater Place and the heritage-listed Sandridge Bridge which leads to Flinders Station across the Yarra River.

The stair also serves as a beacon or easy-to-find meeting place, an outdoor amphitheatre for buskers and small gatherings, and for sitting in the sun. On any given day hundreds of people descend upon the stair for a casual chat, a quick bite to eat with co-workers, or for their recommended intake of vitamin D.
