The REACH is an expansion of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and its stairway is a work of art itself. The tremendous amount of light goes through the railing of the stairs while providing the required level of safety. The material is a double sided acid-etched glass with a Velour finish. The overall look is magnificent. In 2020, the REACH won The Architect Newspaper Award for Best Design – Cultural Building.
