F*cking hell... I'm so proud of it. I know it might be done all wrong, and people might not like it after all, but I'm just so happy with it, I find appealing almost everything about it, especially the chromed lines on the stairs. I put a lot of effort and love into it. I don't regret joining interior design world anymore. I am happy to do interior design for a long time.


P.S. just noticed that on the second image I forgot to turn the glazing class on... will fix that...NOT

ok. so this the same thing as in previous post with the only difference that i added some textures.
quite contemporary as i see it. looks quite crappy here actually. ahhhh.......

week 3

Ok, so even though I have been working restless yesterday I still have many things to be done.
Ramps. I showed my rails before. Or didn't I? I'm not sure... I'm gonna post them anyway.
So yeah... Tessellated rails - very decorative, very uncomfortable to hold on, so what i am going to do is add a transparent slide on top of every rail for those of you who have an urge to hold on something while walking down the stairs.
However only some of the rails are going to be tessellated, the others are going to be just metal pipes/rods? - whatever you call the shape. Black, as i see it.

the stage I am at where i have to actually now follow the regulations and change things around as a concept that i'm sure of is ready - the idea is finalized.

week2/1

Look what I found:
Height of handrails Approved Document K states that flights should have a handrail on at least one side if they are less than one metre wide and on both sides if they are wider than one metre. There is no need for handrails beside the bottom two steps of a stairway. Minimum domestic handrail heights of 900mm for both stairs and landings, public handrail heights should be a minimum of 900mm on stairs and 1100mm on landings.


This information came cross me as i am designing ramps. Despite what it says I am still going to make ramps. With more of a decorative quality to them than functional.

I am going to continue the tessellation theme. I feel a bit unsure about it as it is too popular nowadays.  However I like it too much to renounce it.

The influence in this case might be my eternal love to paper, geodesic dome and solid geometry. 

I am not sure about the quality of materials and colors to be used. I'll leave that for later.
Thought thinking about it -  the space doesn't need much of colour as the glazed ceiling is providing a lot of expression to the interior.

week1

I'm not going to tell what the project is a bout fully - basically we should design a hall with ramps and stairs counting with all the restrictions and measurements. First image i had in my head was 'tessellation'. I remembered of Thomas Heatherwick's  pavilion - not the pavilion itself but the area surrounding it.
It is extremely difficult for me to come up with something purely my own, however i find myself to be a good editor. So I am going to use chaotic geometric tessellation as basis, as fundamental idea that should evolve into something more interesting and different.
Here on this picture you can see roughly what i am going for, though it is too much of a plagiarism - I should edit it much more so it becomes my own. (purple stands for ramps, yellow for stairs and orange for flat surfaces)
As I am writing it I think i could somehow include the 'malleable room' idea and make those sections soft and flexible. For example use soft units to create sittings.

I am not sure yet what material should be used - is it fiberboard? Or should they all be solid and made out of  cement? Yeah, if I  use cement it doesn't harm the columns and it looks good...



That is as far as I got - I think i Should look at tessellation in nature - organic element to design is often a good idea that inspires for innovatory.
