Perspective Images - Final Model.

                                                                     Main Perspective



The chosen words for my top space for Khyzyl Saleem was linear. With the word Linear, the aim was to create linear planes horizontally and vertically for the different uses that Khyzyl Saleem's car workshop needed such as workspaces, showrooms and offices on different levels, joined by multiple ramps used for the transportation of cars throughout the spaces. The facades used for the top space were vertical wooden slats to allow viewing areas and to soften up the rough, heavy spaces made for the cars.

                                                                Perspective 2 - Above Space's Interior



The many stairs and ramps seen brings the people and cars around and up the different levels. The first level is also used for the showcasing for the cars and the workshops used to maintain them.


                                                                                  Perspective 3 - Top levels 




Perspective 4 - Office Space


The above images show the top levels used for the offices showing spatial hierarchy and the overlapping spaces allows people to look down and out to see the cars moving around the ramps along the building. It also uses the custom textures, Sturdy and pixelated to show the rough, hard and sturdy spaces needed for the cars.

                                             Perspective 5 - Main Staircase from the showroom to the above space



The main Staircase after being further developed, inspired by the word linear. The stairs are created using individual linear planes being stacked atop of each other being supported by columns from the top to the bottom. The stairs have protruded planes that allow for seating and for displays in the middle showroom, that also allows people to sit on them and to watch the cars enter down to the showroom space.

                                                                   Perspective 6 - Middle Showroom Space



The middle space used for the showrooms. The facade surrounding is used from the custom texture, translucent. The displays are shown by having protruding structures that comes out from the bottom space to the showroom, acting as the displays and to also support the structure. It also has openings that allow people to look down and for natural lighting for the below space.


Perspective 7 - Main Staircase from below to showroom


The Main staircase inspired by the word radiating. It features 2 staircases at the sides in the middle of ramps that 'radiates' from it sides that also acts as seating spaces and steps. 


Perspective 8 -Below space workstations


The shards that seem to 'radiate' out of the ground that acts as dividing spaces, walkways, and structural support allows people to work and see the jewelry being made. The shards is using the custom textures, Patterned and Sharp to reflect the nature of the spaces.
