Waterfront Stairs: Align with Tidal Levels

A staircase leading from land into the water. It is wide, over twenty meters wide, like a grandstand facing the water; the treads are wide and shallow, only fifteen centimeters high, making them comfortable to sit on. The lowest few steps are submerged at high tide, covered with moss and algae, and fully exposed at low tide. The staircase material is rough concrete or large stone blocks, with a non-slip surface. There are no railings. Avoid: making the staircase steep and narrow for passage only, keeping the lowest step always above the water, adding continuous railings to the staircase, using smooth and slippery paving materials.

一道從陸地走進水裡的階梯。它很寬,寬度超過二十米,像一座面向水的看台;踏階寬而淺,高度只有十五公分,因此可以舒服地坐;最下面的幾階在滿潮時被水淹沒,長著青苔與藻類,退潮時整個露出來。階梯的材料是粗糙的混凝土或大塊石材,表面防滑。沒有欄杆。避免:把階梯做得又陡又窄只能通行、讓最低階永遠在水面之上、在階梯上加設連續欄杆、使用光滑易濕滑的鋪面材料。
