Sfax Tiled Atrium Spiraling Staircase Skylight

Grey clouds press against the high glass ceiling, diffusing a cool, even light across the spiraling geometry of the atrium. White ceramic tiles form a continuous, rhythmic ribbon that winds upward, their glazed surfaces catching the ambient glow. The stairs curve inward, creating a deep vertical shaft where shadow pools at the bottom. Reflections on the polished floor duplicate the ascending steps, doubling the visual complexity. The architecture features sharp angles and clean lines typical of modern public buildings in Sfax. A faint blue tint from the overcast sky washes over the white grout lines. at the edge is the sharp edge of a metal handrail catching a thin highlight against the matte tile.
