The image shows the view from the landing of the modern central staircase in the St. Joseph Medical Center. The staircase has a contemporary design with glass railings and stainless steel handrails. It features a zigzag pattern of multiple flights of stairs, creating a geometric visual effect when viewed from above. The staircase is set against wooden flooring and a wood-paneled ceiling. Hanging from the ceiling are decorative vertical elements in yellow and blue/teal colors, adding a touch of brightness to the otherwise neutral color scheme of glass, metal, and light-colored surfaces. There is also a reception desk with green accents where two women are engaged in conversation. The overall design creates an open, airy feeling with natural light flowing through the multiple levels of the building.
