Spiral Fire Escape on Historic Brick Facade, Leiderdorp

2 May 2025 · Walk from Leiderdorp to Leiden

A helical metal staircase climbs the corner of a heritage brick building in Leiderdorp, South Holland. Shot from directly below at golden hour, the repeating curved railings compress into a single graphic column — each revolution tighter than it looks from the ground. The warm brick and pale stone cornice frame the spiral on two sides; a clear evening sky closes it on the third. Structure as geometry, function as pattern.
