Finalised EXP 1 ARCH 1101

The concept for the shared workspace

This sketch is based on previous concepts on the section of a shared structure between the two clients, The Kyza, and Mountain and Moon. The below-ground vehicle workshop and the jewellery workshop are joined through a central courtyard and gallery displaying projects from each client. 

The plans and sections of the finished model

Ground Floor

The ground floor is where the entrance to the underground workshop is located, as well as the location of the central court and the vehicle display. The workshop is also shown in this plan due to the high interior height of the upper vehicle workshop. 

First Floor

The first floor is where the stair to the jewellery workshop and the mezzanine of the vehicle workshop is located. More green space is provided at this level to decorate the otherwise dull surrounding.

Front Section

This section reflects the original concept of an "unadulterated" underground vehicle workshop and the "polished" elevated jewellery workshop. 

Side Section

This section shows the perpendicular side of the original concept, which is greatly expanded in developing this model.

Details of the finalised concepts

From the 3 perspective image above we can see that the structure is designed to stand on a hillside, submerging the vehicle workshop into the slope and elevating the jewellery workshop to the top of the hill.

The first stair design fully integrated into the structure, surrounded by circular glass panels, located on the first floor of the structure. 

The transition from the top of the stairwell into the tubular jewellery workshop involves ascending a curved ramp circulating in a space enclosed by panels of glass. The floor of the workshop is using the custom texture "crystalline".

The stairs to the mezzanine of the jewellery workshop involve walking up a set of stairs joined to the curving wall. The treads of the stair are similar to the ones in the spiral staircase.

The top half of the tube-shaped workshop constitute of massive glass panels that allow maximum sunlight into the workshop. The end of the workshop also features a large circular dome that overlooks the court and the workshop beneath. 

The stair that connects the upper vehicle workshop to the ground level of the structure, featuring a ramp in the centre and two sets of stairs on both sides shaped like wheel treads. The walls of this part of the workshop are using the "rectilinear" texture.

A view overlooking the lower vehicle workshop, where most parts manufacturing are carried out. It is connected to the upper workshop via a stair for humans and a hydraulic lift for vehicles.

The upper workshop constitutes of concrete. It is a large rectangular space where vehicles are parked for upgrades. There is also a small elevated platform at the back that allows the client to monitor the situation in the workshop.

The central courtyard has several raised bed with trees in it, as well as several indented spaces for jewellery display on the wall. There are also benches for workers to relax.
