Close Up of Below Model

The below ground design is made up of a light bulb shaped cavern in which there are two spiky spheres suspended by a wide spiralling staircase. The treads of the staircase are glass, the balustrades and central support column are polished steel. The spikes of the spheres are also polished steel, enhancing the threatening feel of the spikes. The spheres themselves are most likely painted concrete. The above ground design is that of a 2D maze which has been extruded and turned into a 3D maze via the use of stairs. The staircases within the maze include monolithic and glass staircases (all straight, no spirals). The main maze entry staircase consists of a flat topped pyramid with a staircase going up one side which then links to a glass staircase from the pyramid to the first maze level. The pyramid would be made out a stone such as sandstone. The maze itself would be concrete but with the exterior painted white. Also on the exterior of the maze are windows which would be glass.
