Spiral Staircase Cylinder Aquarium
Spiral Staircase Cylinder
This particular cylinder aquarium runs through two floor levels in a custom designed, built-in residential installation. The aquarium is the central focus of an incredible spiral staircase wrapping around the display. We crafted an artificial reef in the form of two sculpted inserts. These hug the back wall of the display and twist away to follow the wall as the spiral stairs wrap and change what comes into view as you ascend or descend the staircase. Plumbing and filtration components are concealed within the artificial reef and run top to bottom in the aquarium display and back to the filtration room under the staircase. The overall effect is incredible.
