Three Perspective Images 


One-point perspective 
From afar, the building itself is complex, designed to replicate a fallen star. I wanted it to be ironically enigmatic, despite the fact that only a few of the building's walls are made of glass.

Interior perspective

The several flights of stairs that lead up to Jansen's studio was designed purposefully so that even spectator's could climb up a few of the flights to view his works displayed on the wings of some of the landings.

Development 

I wanted the workshop of Trent Jansen and The Kayza to be contrasting, as I view their work to be based on nature and technology respectively. I felt the idea of subverting a traditional house structure, with its basement and attic, to be appropriate as a basis for my model. Jansen's workshop is a space filled with light, white steel and wood. Contrastingly, The Kayza's workshop resembles a race track/ underground basement. The two are connected by glass sculptures, which allow a peak into each of their workshops.

Two words: Mature and Emancipated: Mature in the refined material and proper shapes of Jansen's studio as opposed to the curvature of Kayza's race track workshop.

Experiment 1: The Stair Conceptual Model

Client: Trent Jansen Studio

Location: Ground level to above ground workshop

Sketch of Chosen Staircase 


I was inspired by the waves on a beach and wanted to create a staircase that utilises recycled material, similar to the client. One point of interest is the visibility of the individual layers.
