“Complex forms were obtained by taking sectional cuts reproducing the outline, which when set side by side generated both the structure and the surface area of the piece. The modeling and design engineering phases also took traditional woodworking practices into account. Similarly, the smooth, continuous flow of the wood veins on the panels was achieved by visualizing the joints on the 3D model. The natural phenomenon of wood expansion also had to be taken into account for the more complex plywood pieces on stairs and the top-floor landing, Movement is controlled by special sliding joints placed strategically along the linear handrails.”
