Materials Used within my SketchUp Model

There are a variety of materials used within my SketchUp model.

Design Studio 1:
The main material used is a tan cladding for the exterior of the building. Timber was used for the flooring and stair case, while the interior was painted an ivory colour. Several pieces of translucent glass are used for a guard rail on the top floor and a large view window overlooking the rest of the building.


Design Studio 2:
The main material used for the exterior of this part of the structure is concrete. This studio is below ground, with numerous stairs leading to the exhibition space. Each stair is a transparent cylinder with a solid base, protruding out from the floor, surrounded by a blue/purple tile pattern. The stairs rise to the exterior level of the exhibition space.

Exhibition Space:
There are 2 levels of the exhibition space; one which is apart of the same building as design studio 1 and the other which is outside. The interior part shares the same materials as design studio 1; cladding for the exterior, timber flooring, ivory painted walls. The other level of the exhibition space has 2 entrances; from the interior section and behind the structure itself outside. Each set of stairs leading to the exterior space is constructed from concrete paver blocks, as is the flooring. A sheet of translucent glass covered the exterior space from the front.
