Section Animations
Three Animations of section cuts though the design:
Animation 1: Stair 2 section cut
Animation 2: Stair 2 section cut
Animation 3: Section cut parallel to ground floor through entire building
Developed SketchUp Model
Views of various parts of the developed SketchUp model.
1) An isometric view of the design from the front left
2) Exterior shot of the design from the back showing the profile of the stairs leading up to level one through a glass window that follows the outline of each step
3) Exterior shot of the design focusing on the upper level looking in through the large glass wall
4) A more intimate view into the upper floors through the large glass wall
5) A view down to the ground floor through the glass roof above the main gallery
6) Floor plan of the ground floor in white
7) Floor plan of the upper level in textured colour
8) Stair 1 leading from the ground floor up to level 1 (The Steinway and Sons space)
10) The wooden interior used in the upper level for Steinway and Sons that represents the inside of a grand piano
11) Stair 2 leading down the the revival cycle space that can also be seen through the void to the left
12) A small office space for the Revival Cycle clients
13) A Revival Cycle motorbike as well as a custom texture used on the sloped wall creating a feature that can been seen from both the ground floor and basement level
15) The third custom texture used for the support pole that runs down all floors visually connecting them
16) Coffee stall area showing one side of the rusted steel stairs on the right
Final Stair Section with Materials
Stair 1
Materials
This stair is made of solid concrete and sits flush with the floor on level one and the wall that it is next to. the steel cables running vertically down from the ceiling are only needed as a balustrade on one side. The other side of the stair is flush with a window the looks out the back of the design.
Stair 2
Materials
Two sheets of steel were used in the making of this stair. Alternating steps come from the same sheet of steel that has been cut and bent to create the tread. The steel will have a rusted look that will surround the users as they walk down the stairs. At the bottom of the stair case is a viewing gallery showing the newly revived motorcycles that will contrast the rustic feel of the walk down the stairs.
This is the desired material for the construction of the stairs.
A large curve at each bend has been created deliberately to aid the transport of bikes up and down the stairs by running them slightly up one side to gain enough heigh to get them onto the tread above.
Colour/ Material Selection for Developed Design
This shows some of the combinations of materials and colours that were considered for the exterior of the design.
A selection of possible colour schemes and materials.
This was the final material palette that was selected. The dark exterior with the wooden interior in the upper level was chosen to represent Steinway and Sons because it mimics the colours of a grand piano.

The model after a redesign of the upper level
Redesigned Upper Level
After some consideration it was decided that the entire upper level should be redesigned. This was due to the simplicity of the original design as well as the desire to create a more appealing level for the client, Steinway and Sons.
