3rd Iteration Design Development:

In my third iteration of my design I altered the angles of the arch ways creating a stronger emphasis on the stairway openings, acting as a subtle guide for the punters. I also added more archways to create a fuller space especially around the entrances to create a ‘Narnia wardrobe’ effect where you enter through a smaller opening and emerge into a grand space further strengthening the idea that you are leaving reality and entering into fantasy. I also explored a few entranceway ideas keeping in mind Wes Andersons classic use of symmetry.

Developed Entrance Way:

I wanted to tie the Lorne Street and Queen street entrances to the style and shapes used on the ticket box creating harmony with all the different elements used. With symmetry in mind I have made the two entrances identical. I have used glass windows in the entrance space to provide a passerby a sneak peak into the interior, positioned in a way to not give away too much. This taste of what’s inside combined with a grand door knob on a pivoting door act as an invitation to enter into the space.

Develop Ticket Booth:

I added more wavey patterns onto the design and added more details to help it come to life a bit more. I referred to my previous research of 1920-1950 ticket booth designs when developing my design.
