PROJECT1: STAIRCASE 3

I like the idea of pieces fitting together. I designed a stair that would perfectly fit into other pieces to create a type of methodical rise and fall to the structure - a wavy undertone.

PROJECT 1: HESTON STAIRCASE 2

Heston Blumenthal is a pioneer not only in terms of cooking and creating, but also in his approach to creation and out of the box thinking. Modernism and invention are at the core of all his work and i wanted to translate it through the staircase. By maintaining a more traditional form to my stairs I was able to find creation and quirky innovation in other forms surrounding the design. I used a literal mushroom creation because of my love for them! They have such a beautiful and organic shape to them that provide an idyllic platform for support and equal weight distribution.

PROJECT1: Steinway & Sons - Staircase 1

 Since 1853, Steinway pianos have set an uncompromising standard for sound, touch, beauty, and investment value. Handcrafting each Steinway requires up to one full year – creating an instrument of rare quality and global renown - I wanted to translate this idea of Beauty and craftsmanship through to the stair case design. The cork design showcases elegance and a sleek designers element that allows for  an elegant rise and fall in use. The use of stainless steel and dark Rose wood is modern, fluid and transcendent.

I used the book sketch of the model as a floor plan rather than an elevation - as show in pictures (A) and (B) below.
