GAGA

Imposing height, geometry and pointed shape in plan

Stopping the elevator track short creates tension between Gaga and the island

the Gaga auditorium - her 'office'

View down the bridge from the elevator showing suspension system

THE MEETING PLACE

looking toward Gaga through Ive's Torri Gate  - the gate adds ritual to Ive's entry to the meeting place and establishes a connection to the island

the meetingplace looking toward Ive - 'power' suggested by the perspective of the high site  from this lower vantage point and inhospitable cliff top site. 

meeting place toward Gaga - furniture linked to Gaga's anglar architecture. The downward pointing bridge and high overhead wings suggest 'power'

IVE

Ive's site on the clifftop overlooking the meeing place enforces the concept of power  while clean, curved lines acknowledge the client's connection to technology and 'zen like' design style

rear perspective shows glass cylinder enclosing spiral stair and indoor tree planting

interior of spiral stair and planting

top floor - sky light and top of stair well

Finally got the result that i was after or a lift with a balustrade that works on only one key press to go up and another to go back down - THANKS RUSSELL!
