Partouche Pasino Club, Paris [FR]

EeStairs + Atelier d'Architecture QBM + Meditera Studio

Just steps from the Place de l’Étoile, the Partouche Pasino Club is a Parisian destination for casino gaming and hospitality, arranged across several levels around a central atrium. Within this theatrical interior, designed by Meditera Studio and Atelier d’Architecture QBM, EeStairs’ two helical staircases form the centrepiece of the space, guiding movement around the lift core as part of a carefully controlled spatial composition.

The strength of the project lies in the tension between openness and structural control. Without risers, the staircases needed to appear light, almost like ribbons, while their flowing geometry had to accommodate complex structural loads. EeStairs met this challenge with precisely engineered, reinforced tread supports and discreet connections to the existing concrete structure, allowing the curves to remain visually uninterrupted.

The material palette gives the space a sense of understated glamour. Powder-coated mild steel creates a continuous sculptural form, while extra-clear laminated glass maintains open views through the atrium. Stainless-steel handrails add a refined tactile line, and the porcelain stoneware-clad treads provide durability, texture and continuity with the surrounding interior.
