Back Office Stairs


  So I've been struggling for a good idea to go at the back of my offices for a while. I knew i was having 2 lifts and a symmetrical theme. This is the idea i came up with for the stair well that wraps around each lift shaft.



   After some crits it was decided that it was too bright and claustrophobic. i tested a thinner design with less lighting and it worked better.

 Making the stairs was easy, the wall was a little fiddlier. I started by making the mesh as one vertical plane with all the cut insets and then unwrapped it.

Next i had to bend it around a 90 degree corner so using a cylinder to test how many faces i would need i split the mesh and bent it around the cylinder.


Then i proceed to do the opposite for the inward facing corner.


Here is the final model, it has a top and bottom strip light but this its self wasn't enough to light the hall so i positioned two non shadow casting lights on each floor to brighten it up.
