Winter Stair Tower Wheelbarrow Before Renovation

Broad afternoon light floods the bare shell stair tower in Paraná, bouncing off pale, unpainted concrete walls that define the vertical space. A weathered metal wheelbarrow sits centered on the rough floor, its surface marked by years of use. Condensation beads densely on the nearby glass panels, signaling the dead of winter cold outside. The wide panoramic view shows the separation of demolition, salvage, and abatement zones before the renovation crews begin their work. Dust settles on the floor, and the stark contrast between the industrial equipment and the unfinished architecture emphasizes the quiet moment before the tearing out of finishes starts. One drip of water slides down the glass edge.
