Some of my drawings I based my stairs on. I then went online and found a few pictures that helped me better envision the concepts in my Sketchup model.
I really like the concept of these stairs, they have a a floating sense to them and I also like how they are made as a closed space rather than an open set of stairs. I think it will work well with the movement from the first floor to ground floor. I also like how the stairs don't need any sort of truss support other than the material itself.
Cantilever stairs: I like the idea of splitting the room into more levels, in a space rather than having a whole new floor. It's a nice use of space, and the stairs tie them together well.
I remember seeing this building during my trip to Japan, the fluorescent lighting was something that stood out. I also liked how from outside, you can see the movement between the levels through the translucent facade.
These are pictures of me struggling to get the stairs right.
Before any proper stair modelling.
Messy messy messy..
Fail Stairs, uneven and not thought out properly.
Another section showing how messy the triangle steps looked. I gave up halfway and tried another bunch of stairs so there were about 3 types in one level.
My concept which I thought was brilliant but turned out horrible.
Lisa suggested me having a steady pattern of triangles rather than random jagged edges. I might try it again, but it was too time consuming and looked confusing and rather dangerous for a set of stairs in a building...
