the three words and 15 sketch sections:

I build this complex for Trent Jenson and the Kyza. The word for Trent Jenson, whose workshop is above the ground, is peculiar. And the word for the Kyza is the sense of line. At first, I associate the upground building with the coral, which is cylinder with void in its middle. Because their works mainly focus on, blend with culture, and get inspiration from ancient culture around the world. The other client's work is everything about visual sense, it's all boy's stuff.

The stairs:

This stair connects the two level in the Trent Jenson's workshop. To elevate 4 metres in a not quite large space, I made it a U shape. The tread is made of glass to make it light with one central beam supporting below.

This group of stairs surronds the large gallery for the car. At first, I intended to make this space totally sealed with polished black marble walls to create the cool sense. But then I think the effect of removing the walls on one side and remaining the other side is better, because it makes the space open and enhences the sense of wholeness. Therefore the first group is against the wall, and the second group is quite independant with half-height wall outside.

The building:

First, this is the undreground workshop.

The car will be transitted to the gallery by the round elevator. And there is another ramp for cars to be brought in from the ground.

the ramp 2

This ramp connects Trent Jansen's workshop with the galery in different buildings. I use the ramp instead of staircases because their work is quite big and heavy. At first there was only a canopy above, and then I added the colonnade and a large screen to part from the outside.
