Interior

Paper Vs Cardboard

Paper is much easier to bend and fold into shapes but lacks structural integrity which creates problems when trying to build walls. Cardboard is much more rigid allows for more simple shapes to be built to last, however the more complex folds are harder to do as the material is thicker.

Staircase Linking Ground level to Upper level

The staircase is designed to adhere to the client's snake ring as well as the chosen word being twisted. There are two sets of staircases that intertwine with one another to emphasise the feeling of being twisted. Two columns are also placed with similar paths to enforce the snake aspect.
