WORKSPACE SKETCHES & IDEAS

BODY MEASUREMENTS AND PROPORTION

Approaching this first phase of designing a work space, i set out to design an area with the use of screens in mind. After that i went on to think about who would make use of such screens and the first thing i thought of was a stock broker. I kept this imaginary client through out the whole semester thinking about what would be best in design and practicality. All in all working from the inside out.

Measuring my body served as a tool to make design choices such as the amount of screens that will be in the room, and the type of chair that can articulate the fastest means of production during work hours

EGRESS STAIRS SKETCHES

EGRESS STAIRS PLAN, SECTION & DETAIL

1 P

With the egress stairs, i started to use the schools fire stairs as an example for my design and survey the egress stairs to fit into the frame of the given building. With 10 feet of height from finish floor to finish floor i used a 7-1/2” by 10-1/2” riser and tread i was able to fit the proportion of the egress stairs in relation to the floor height.

The main stairs were to serve the client to circulate throughout all three spaces. My first iteration was to design the stairs out of glass and metal to have a cohesive design in relation to the workspace. The stairs are mainly glass, and they are help up by metal tubes and connected to the I-beam for support.

The metal rods act as a continues guard.

RENDERINGS Mk.1

With a design like this it would be very easy for the client to climb up and down the stairs as they would be able to rest on the landing and proceed to the next floor.

The idea behind that would have been to have the landing side be on the south side of the structure for direct sunlight to illuminate the glass for a pleasing effect.

KITCHEN ITERATIONS

11

Doing iterations with the stairs in relation to the frame of the building and the egress stairs formed a new design strategy in relation to the placement of the future spaces like the bathroom and the kitchen.

GLASS STAIRS Mk.2 SKETCHES

With this iteration of the stairs, i changed the whole design to be more minimal and elegant while keeping the idea of having light come through the south side of the structure and light up the spaces through the glass of the stairs. The stairs would be made out of tempered glass and it would create a green shadow reflection in the room that was another design decision to be made in future iterations.

Using the glass as a stringer hung from the I-beams would be most structurally stable.

BATHROOM Mk.1

SECTIONS OF KITCHEN & BATHROOM

Designing the bathroom was a challenge in terms of materiality, the location of the bathroom would be behind the kitchen in the same floor for easy access when one needed to take a shower or use the washroom. Another important aspect of the bathroom is the use of glass in the shower to compliment the use of glass in the stairs. Keeping a consistent look and relationship in material throughout the different spaces.

ALL GLASS DESIGN

INITIAL DESIGN

P 1

In the final steps of the design process, using glass for almost all aspects of the 4 spaces was an ambitious idea. Never the less, i attempted to use different types of glass. Such as electro-glass, black panted glass, and tempered glass throughout the spaces. This eventually changed my ceiling material, so i used LED glass panels to compliment the idea of an all glass design. From the cabinets to the walls, i made glass a prominent material for the client.
