Stair Details

Detail Stair Section Sketches

Stairs #1 - Hazan Motorworks - "Bold"


Stairs #2 - Christian Benner Custom - "Vivid"



[Stair Modelling]

Ramp + Stairs
The idea was the combine a ramp and set of stairs to go around the same way, however I placed the stairs on the outer side of the spine, which would make the travelling for the motorbike going up and down to be very inconvenient. Therefore I separated the two, flipped the ramp and intertwined both of them to make a more interesting effect of spiralling as suggested when motorcycles are ridden.



Stairs hanging from ceiling
This concept was inspired by many images of stairs hanging from the ceiling or walls as shown in the lecture prior to class. I wanted to make an iteration of that idea and emphasised its 'hanging' or elevation through the long thin treads that are tucked away under each other. From here, LED lights may be installed to suggest that they are floating as well.

[Material Choices]
In terms of materials, I chose to use very industrial materials for Hazan Motorwork's stairs and ramp. This resulting with a steel framed spine holding steel treads, and a precast concrete ramp. For Christian Benner, I chose to warm the cold concrete space with timber treads that extends from the base and into the ceiling.
