Stair Planning Options


I was having some issues with the planning of the stairs and lift to get up to the second level. This was resolved at the tutorial session with the help of my tutor. This is as the planning works on the first level however once up on level 2 the building has been rotated and so the stairs and lift do not translate well into this area.




After trying several different alternatives it was worked out to place the stairs and lift at the centre of the gallery space. While this may appear to block the view in some ways it also creates a glimpse of the view from beyond which can only be fully appreciated on approach. It also helps to draw the users upstairs by making a feature of both of these elements.

This also worked in most effectively with the design and the angular forms of the plan.
