Part 1: The stair concept model
STAIRY NIGHT
~ ABOVE-GROUND TO SHOWROOM
The following set of stairs, designed for client Mountains & Moons, connects the above-ground space to the showroom, and seeks to
reflect the dignified nature of the delicacy of their products. Leading to an
intimate space, the selection of the spiral structure for the staircase
contributes to the diaphanous and ethereal ambience created as the high, dacron
ceiling invites subtle sunlight to gently embrace the workspace. The centre of
the spiral naturally forms a vertical line which aligns to an intentionally
positioned, concentrated beam of sun to immerse the client as they walk up
towards the above-ground, instigating the elevation of senses as the stairs
allude to an escape from reality. The transparency of the glass stairs further
extends this sunlight down to the showroom, which travels down the elongation
of railings, parallel to the pendants of the client's jewellery.

~ BELOW-GROUND TO SHOWROOM
Designed for client Trent Jansen, the staircase
below translates his ability to construct organic compositions to reflect
fluidity in movement. Individual stairs are impressed with waves carved on the
side, revealing a fluctuating motion when observed in conjunction. The
amalgamation of wood and steel to fashion the stairway parallels the material
framework primarily used by the client, as the heavier and industrial elements
provides tone and depth to the workspace.
