The Stair

Initial designs for the two clients:

Developed sketch up models: 

Steinway's Piano Key's inspired stair

Steinway's keyboard inspired stair clearly originates from his work with pianos. There are all together 3 materials for the stair: glass, matte black metal and metal cables. The use of 2 different materials for the steps mimic the appearance of a keyboard. The light and thin glass step and the thick and black matte step, evoke a different feeling as you step onto each of them. A sense of lightness and transparency on the glass step and a heavier feeling on the black step. In addition, the change in materials and the change in feeling is similar to the different notes each key makes.

Heston's stainless steel stair

Heston's stainless steel stair is weird, crazy but very practical and ties in quiet seamlessly into his work. The matte stainless steel stair very practical for Heston's work. He will be cooking and entertaining and he will be bringing his food up and down his space and therefore a stainless steel stair is not only stylish but easy to clean in case of spills.
