Sketchup file has been uploaded to 3d warehouse:
- Prior to getting feedback on this early 3d model, I extended the plane of the site, to span longitudinally, with each floor serving a different function.
- The rhombus 3d shape is the gallery and below it is the Zhyzyl Saleem Studio.
- I created my stairs so that they would allow visitors to go from the gallery to Khyzyl's studio.
- The glass components allow gallery viewers, to get a glimpse into Khyzyl Saleem's Studio while they are walking in the open. The transition from a completely open and bright space to an underground, dark studio, heightens the effect of the word "inisidious."
- This is the roof structure which would cover the gallery space, the wooden texture and complex, sharp geometry pays tribute to Trent Jensen's preoccupation with wooden furniture and the word 'insidious' for Khyzyl Saleem.
In its context, the roof was deemed an overwhelming structure which overlooked the other features of the model, hence it was scrapped and replaced with a roof that had a more subtle undertone in the grander scheme of the gallery.
-This roof manifested the ideology behind both words chosen. The word "insidious" is characterised by the jagged nature roof and the word "metamorphose" is embodied in the unpredictable changing nature of the roof alongside the glass texture.
- The upper stairs will join the gallery and Trent Jensen Studio. The glass nature of the gallery roof will allow full permeability of natural light and vision into the gallery from the Trent Jensen's studio.
I observed the bold and unique take on geometrical features (e.g. cupboards) in Trent Jensen's works and went for this design. I felt this design mirrored that simplicity with the use of hexagons that Trent Jensen employs.
By curving all corners and receding and protruding different elements, I noticed that this was symbolic of the abstraction that Trent Jensen employs on his forms (often by having soft corners and strong craftsmanship to create protruding scale-like features from wooden masses).
The wooden wing structure symbolises the scale-like features that protrude from Trent-Jensen's furniture.

- After adding in the textures, I decided that predominantly black walls would allow light and shade to show exceptionally clear and give Trent Jensen the opportunity to use lighting in accordance with his needs.
The large, numerous windows emphasise the preoccupation with light that I believe is crucial to the presentation of Jensen's work. The play of light and dark on the intricate curves embodies the word "Metamorphose," where the appearance of the furniture changes drastically with the direction and intensity of light being shone on it. Hence with a studio like this, the light becomes part of the creative process of the artist and the architectural experience of the viewer,
- For the tiling on the floor, I imported my custom texture "squamous" as shown below. The similarity to the scales on the cupboard was the effect I was going for. The 3D box with the inspiration work is also shown in this interior view, to complement the decisions I've made.

- These two sections encapsulate all functions and features of the Trent Jensen Studio and how it ties in with the gallery space.
Stair one:
The Stairs have frequent openings and just like the Trent Jensen studio and furniture, feature no sharp corners.
I furthered developed these stairs, to foster a greater sense of architectural promenade to the surroundings. The thinner, intertwining nature of the protruding curves is abstract and complex, yet allows greater views of the landscape, up in the air. This heightens the feeling of "metamorphose," since you are moving into a completely new space, physically and psychologically.
Main Gallery:
The gallery space has elements which comply with the Khyzyl Saleem studio and word "insidious" such as the windows and black sidewalls. The gallery also features another set of stairs I designed which grow gradually from the first to last step due to the nature of the angled wall it is supported by. Hence this gives a sense of growing and change as you are advancing up the stairs, paying tribute to the word "Metamorphose."
The custom texture "compressed" (below) has been given a cream undertone, to be similar to a brick wall (also shown below) which has a rough and disjointed texture.
Khyzyl Saleem's Studio:
Section of Khyzyl Saleem's Studio:
The curves and spirals that are characteristic of Khyzyl's studio, embody the nature of the curvaceous exterior of cars which Khyzyl Saleem works on. The colour scheme of maroon red, blue, black and white serves to mirror the consistency that is apparent in the exterior paint jobs of cars. The opening window panels are in a similar shape to windowscreens and abstract the unique window tints that Khyzyl Saleem is fond of.
The completed textures and interior platforms for Khyzyl Saleem's showpieces are illustrated in these pictures. Just like for a car, the front of the studio is full glass and is tinted to give a windscreen vibe, similar to the shininess of the 3d box with the car work example. The colour scheme mirrors that of the inspiration car and also creates an "insidious mood" inside the studio.
The custom texture (as shown below) is imported onto the sides of stairs and as a sort of patterned marble flooring. The stairs are placed in a corner so as the viewer is coming down they can absorb the studio through an architectural promenade fostered by a wide central pole.
10-second Embedded video and inspiration night-time perspective:
The curvaceous nature and journey on a spiral staircase is similar to that of the venture through a well lit curved tunnel. This fosters a sense of architectural promenade and also mirrors the closed nature of an underground studio, with lights at every junction, similar to the spotlights in the studio (shown above).
Ramp:
The ramp which would bring cars into and out of the lower studio is included to complete my model on Sketchup and Lumion and tie all elements of the model.
