Short section of my structure detailing the stairs, glass ceiling and rock walls and ceiling. Long section of my structure detailing the lift, stairs, skylights and balustrades on the upper level. My two describing words was "ticking" for Rolex and "kinetic" for Hazan Motorworks.
Site plan of my model.
The strong rectilinear, geometric and cantilevered structure, grey concrete exterior and full length windows creates an abstract form in the natural environment of my building.
Front view showcasing the showroom, upper level (Rolex), the skylights and the natural surroundings. The full length windows, glass ceiling and skylights allow ample light to the interior. Amenities include the toilets at the right and lift at the left of the structure.
Section view of my structure drawing attention to the 'glass drops' from the ceiling that allows light in and gives a sense of depth to interior of the model. It also creates 'links' the basement level to the showroom and upper level. There is a lack of separating walls and rooms on all floors to allow an 'open concept'. This creates great flexibility and freedom of space to the clients and the usage of the workshops.
The 'glass drops' also double as the staircase balustrades forming a barrier between the user and the edge of the stairs. This creates a unique experience where the building is directly integrated into the function of the staircase, yet allowing the design of the staircase to stand out independently from the structure.
