Spiraling Atrium Rim Light Shadow

Deep shadow fills the lower stair hall while a sharp rim of evening light traces the geometric curves of the spiraling atrium. Tiled steps ascend in a rhythmic, angular pattern, their surfaces catching faint glimmers from the city lights beginning to glow outside the high windows. Midsummer clouds hang low against the glass, diffusing the ambient gray into soft, cool tones that settle over the concrete and stone. The perspective looks straight up, showing the vertical rise of the architecture without revealing the floor below. One tile edge glows white where the shadow meets the window light.
