Google Sketch-Up Model Images

Draft Model One: Complex/Simplistic

The design above displays an underground studio representing "simplistic" while the above ground and upper level studio represents "Complex". Large glass windows either side of the structure allow natural lighting to penetrate the complex shape.

Draft Model Two: Simplistic/Stature

The design above presents a studio below the ground which represents "stature". Through the large height and shape of the room the eye is directed to the upper "V" shape and stair. The above ground structure use straight lines to create a simplistic gallery and studio above.

Final Model: Overall Exterior

The image above presents the overall design of this project fitted into a hill side. It represents simplistic design above and a design of stature below. The interior may seem complex, however the angled walls throughout the centre are in fact mirrors, reflecting the view from the human perspective through the stairs access. This creates the illusion of a continuous gallery from either end with nothing appearing in between.

Final Model: Interior One

This image above represents the corridor to either end of the gallery with the complex glass exterior wall.

Final Model: Interior Two


The image above presents on of the galleries at either end of the design. The glass wall and corridor is seen as well as the interior angular structure which is responsible for appearing invisible to the eye of the viewer. The upper studio is also visible situated above the angular walls.


Final Model: Stair-Gallery to Upper Studio

The image above presents the first stair design. It is a single ramp which appears smooth until someone steps on a tread, which results in this folding flat to support the person as a handrail is raised from the side of the ramp via a pulley system mechanism for each individual tread.

Final Model: Stair-Gallery to Studio Below


This image presents a stair which is a square shape, made of individual rectangular prisms supported from the roof with flat turning areas at the corners.
