AL SEIF STAIRCASE CONNECTS KUWAIT’S PAST WITH PRESENT

The prominent and popular staircase located in the heart of Kuwait City, Al Seif Staircase, serves as a cultural bridge connecting Kuwait’s past and present.

The creative project emerged as an initiative to refurbish the area that has witnessed significant contributions to Kuwait’s history. The long-awaited revival was funded by Tamdeen Group and sponsored by Al Amiri Diwan, in an effort to renew the dialogue between generations and strengthen Kuwait’s urban design position.

The design concept of Al Seif Staircase, led by Kuwaiti Architect Mai Al Bseiri, weaves a series of modern geometrical characters that cascade between various levels, creating balance and dimension. Materials from the original staircase were preserved and incorporated into the new design to maintain a sense of authenticity and reflect the importance of urban heritage for the youth of Kuwait.
