Versace space interior - no lighting

The plan is to fill each 'platform' of Versace's space with different extroverted colours made famous by the Versace label. Colours like hot pink and purple will literally convey the 'glamour' style favoured by Versace.

The floating metaphorical bridge.

The bridge is also the meeting space where the dining table is located.
Power, as was explored in the Mash Up, not only involves control, but very little limits. The dining table is therefore a direct interpretation of this idea: why not build a table as if it were paper?

Power isnt something that has to be physical, it doesnt have to be seen, but it can be felt. The 'bridge' between Jobs and Versace's space does not physically bring the two spaces together, but by being between the two spaces it implies a connection.

What will bring these two clients together are elevators that float between the three spaces, alluding to the idea that power is about ultimate control and order. Versace and Jobs may deal with two different aspects of business - one is associated with fashion while the other to electronic innovation - but the control each have over what they do is the same; they are both the driving forces to the success of their businesses.

Sketches and ideas (pencil, ink and ink wash) - Jobs










Client One: Steve Jobs
Something crisp and simple.  
- I tried to explore the form of the building with some ink [refer to boxy shapes] attempting
to convey a space that is simple but different.  The 'power' behind Jobs isnt his money,
but his ideas, so I thought an office that expressed simplicity rather than extravagance was
far more relevant for Jobs.
