THE STAIR CONCEPT - SUBMISSION

The Stair Concept

Concept description

CLIENT - 1: Trent Jason

Products: Furniture
Material: Steel and wood
Descriptors: Irregular, erratic, random. Matching with my adjective of the chair as "irregular."

My concept is an irregular workspace with opaque, glass as the roof for maximum natural lighting on the furniture and overall low energy design. The staircase within is light, airy and irregular with a hint of repetition to complement the furniture on show.

CLIENT - 2: Khyzyl Saleem

Products: Cars, automobile
Material: steel, metal
Descriptors: Overtaking, uneven, outdistance. Matching with my verb of the car as "overtaking"

My concept is an orthogonal space doubling as a showroom to showcase the well-defined automobiles on show. The staircase within this design is bold, chaotic and indestructible reflecting the longevity of the cars on show. In addition, the main staircase, as well as the secondary stairs, are individual blocks, each overtaking each other on the race to the floor.

A FINE PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE

1. My best piece of artwork. 

As a project in my Design and Technology class, we had to design our own welcome sign for the entrance of our school. My design was selected and constructed in 2019. It reads in Hebrew, Bruchim Habaim meaning welcome. Each letter is 3D and it is designed in a specific way that you can only read the letters from the front view as you walk past them. 

2. A great piece of architecture 

This is a picture of the inside of the Basilica de la Sagrada Familia, also known as the Sagrada Familia, designed by Gaudi. It is a large unfinished Roman Catholic Church in Barcelona. He incorporated lots of nature into his designs, in this picture, the columns in the side naves are very similar to tree branches. 

3. Something beautiful 

This is a picture of Praia dos Estudantes, a beach in Lagos, Portugal that I visited last year. Man has intervened but hasn't spoiled the landscape.
