Stairs Concept Model

My building consists of cyclic elements. To complement this I used a cyclic staircase revolving around the entire cylinder, providing a 360 view of the surrounding environment. Vertical poles were incorporated in the staircase not only for functionality but also to contrast the horizontal elements. Underground we have the SOLID hexagonal stairs. Complimenting the idea of the solidarity of the earth and providing an insight into the underground design to come.

This concept involves the use of bent structures above the surface and curved, bubble like structures underground. To compliment this, I have used a bent staircase placed symmetrical to the walls, conveying this idea that the stairs are part of the wall. For the underground section I have used a circular stair design which descends to the base, this compliments the design and ads to this feeling of comfort that the bubble like design aims to do.

FEEDBACK

The stairs from the above level to the common room, emphasised on the curves of the building. The continuity of the spiral staircase also gave a grand feeling to it because of how it flows from floor to ceiling. The stairs from the common room to the below level is really innovative because of the use of levelled solids instead of the traditional steps. It has a lot of volume to support the weight of the people who will use the stairs. I also like the idea that the hexagon was used on the stairs which gave it feel more connected to the space. 

If there’s a negative feedback would probably be the isolation of the bottom stairs to the space.

However, in all, I just think the stairs compliment the shapes just from following the curves of the building or using a certain shape to give the space harmony.
