The Stair: Model



I have made a second draft of my SketchUp model, with this draft being vastly different to the first. I loosely took the design concepts of the 'Balance' and 'Elevate' sketches shown below to create the new workshops and exhibitions spaces. 

'Balance'
'Elevate'


Different views of the SketchUp draft model 2:








The stair that connects the exhibition space to the above ground level workshop was based off the 'The Stair Four' sketch. The material selection of the concrete cantilevered stair featuring metal wires connecting it to the roof, mimics the metal spokes of a motorcycle wheel and thus reflects the client of the workshop space, Revival Cycles. 



The stair that connects the exhibition space to the below ground workshop was derived from 'The Stair Two' sketch. The form of blocks on different elevations is inspired by the client CJ Hendry's 'Bronze Trophy' series which features objects placed on platforms. The materiality of concrete has been used as that was the material of the blocks Hendry's drawings and effectively communicates the idea of 'elevate' as the blocks ascend up the hill.
