Layer radial vertical timber looking up

Wed, 22 Mar 2006 22:24:25 +0000

CNC'ed beech ply shapes support treads on this pretty outragous looking staircase. Glass balustrade is socket fixed to the ends of the treads and capped with a handrail. The long landing echos the design of the staircase.

Lilja Meditative Chapel

Tue, 09 May 2006 08:36:05 +0000

Saw this building in icon magazine.
Designed by Finnish architect Vesa Oiva.
Just had a bit of free time so I thought I'd give it a go.
Reminded me of Tando Ando church of light but a hippy version!

Bit of fun really.
Any C&C welcome

DNA Stair Version 4

Tue, 21 Mar 2006 11:43:00 +0000

This is the last in the series of images for my DNA stair design. It is by far the most ambitious design that I have come up with, a free standing DNA strand supporting glass treads with a structural glass balustrade. Being a draughtman all my stairs are designed with fabrication in mind, as I aim to manufacture one in the near future.

Proposed Porcelanosa Stair

Mon, 13 Jun 2005 12:13:14 +0000

The second of 2 renders for a forthcoming book to celebrate 35 years of staircase designed and fabricated by the company I work for.
This is the design we proposed to the porcelanosa tile company, and not accepted (Just as well really as it is a prototype design which works fine in domestic situations, but possibly not in public!). It makes a good render none the less. Some horrible looking stair was made in its place!
Added furniture in which will probably be cropped in advertising, but adds something to the scene.
Viz, vray and photoshop used
Composited background in (guess where you would have to be too this view?). This is the dodgyist bit IMO. C&C welcome

Domestic Stair

Mon, 06 Feb 2006 11:21:03 +0000

A new brochure for work selling 'cheap' staircases.
35 hours on a single 2.4 ghz PC (issues with network rendering at the moment!)
Apart from stair and room, all other models from evermotion (free section).
Any C&C's welcome

Dna Stair V2.0

Fri, 24 Jun 2005 20:50:45 +0000

I'm posting this as I think something has gone wrong with the image that is in expose III. I sent the above image. A bit disappointed, but I am really pleased with my other image that got in.
It is a glass version of the stair. Read the book or visit my website for more info.
below is a crazy view of the version 2.0 stair

DNA Stair Version 2 looking up

Tue, 21 Mar 2006 16:13:28 +0000

Just messing around with various designs and came up with this. After checking that the strand was possible to manufacture I went crazy and modelled several variations of this stair. This is the second design of 4. Love this camera angle looking up at the stair as if you are lying on the floor

Western Avenue Staircase

Straight stair consisting of powder coated steel stringers supporting laminated beech treads. Glass balustrade is socket fixed to the treads. A solid beech handrail caps the glass

Domestic Stair 1410

Thu, 23 Mar 2006 13:49:44 +0000

Second of 2 renders for a forthcoming brochure of a 'cheap' staircase. The system is about 40 years old and comprises of cast aluminium brackets which slide over a concealed pole, timber treads and handrail.

Procession House Staircase

Fri, 10 Jun 2005 12:53:39 +0000

This is a stair we made several years ago, but have been unable to get any photos. We have made several similar staircases of this type, but this one is the most impressive.
Modelled in Viz. Rendered in vray. A little Post work in Photoshop
Comments are welcome, although I realise the building is fairly bland (in an effort to highlight stair)
