XIV. four textures

Textures used in developed model:
week four

underground.


underground roof


Like the helix stair case, the roof aims to reflect the design of the 125th Steinway and Sons piano.  The angular design with various black finishes; polished and matte.  Thus the roof has protruding triangles with various different black finishes.





middle.


stair exit


The exit of the piano is minimalist and simplistic in design. It covers the beginning of the stairs and the lift.  This was designed in order to ensure it receded into the background and increase focus upon the product developed by Steinway and Sons.  Thus, it was covered finished with highly polished white concrete, allowing for the stark contrast of the black of the piano.  Furthermore, it connects the exit with the top area.


middle walls


The middle area is a combination of the underground and the upper level.  It uses both triangular and circular geometry in conjunction.  The use of stainless steel allows for the triangular wall designs.  Furthermore it connects the stairs coming from the underground, the middle and the stairs exiting the area.  The glass opens the up the area and creates an open area.




top.


top area


The stark simplicity of the upper area reflects Blumenthal's work.  Despite being complex in creation, the final product itself is simple, elegant and effective.  Thus, the upper region of this model is simply finished with highly polished white cement.  Pure white which works well with the translucent glass that encapsulates the space.
