Final model
Textures used in Unreal model.
This is the path to the meeting point. The texture of the floor shows the movement.
This is the space for Versace. The texture on the ground seems that they are moving, as if they are collecting energy to the centre.
Steve Job's space.

Ideas about the model
For Versace's space, I use such a combination of repetitive small spaces. As a fashion brand, VERSACE has many products which get to many different fashion fields. VERSACE produces clothing, bags, watches, jewellery, eyeware and home collection and so on. Thus, the six hexagonal spaces above are six exhibiton halls for their different sorts of products, and all the walls are transparent that allow visitors to see the products from outside. The transparent glass also creates a sense of luxury. The spaces under the exhibition halls are the working rooms for Versace and her staff.
As a powerful company, VERSACE is based and built up by many different types of small powers, so my design expresses this idea. Make the success and impact in different fashion fields together to produce a more powerful organisation. Therefore, the space designed for Versace is functional and it represents the issue of power.
For Steve Job's space, I use the five letters APPLE as the shape of the building. The building is huge and very steady that represent the quite important status of Apple among the electronic industries. Thus, it shows the power of Apple.
Dining tables
My inspiration comes from the punctuations question mark and excalmation mark. During Steve Job's and Versace's work, they may meet lots of troubles and problems. In the process of solving them, they may question themselves first, "How?". Both Steve Job and Versace are capable person. Maybe an inspiration from their daily work or other people could give them an intensive to overcome the difficulty.
Thus, the combination of the question mark and excalmation mark explores the above process. Both the two clients and the two corporations are strong enough to face and solve different problems. The whole design shows the beauty of curve and the great power behind it.
Elevators
This elevator is for Versace.
Donatella Versace is the leader of the brand Versace, and also a fashion star concerned by many people. Therefore, this elevator is designed with the element-star. This shows the big power of the star Donatella Versace herself, and the power of her fashion industry Versace as well. Moreover, the elevator is in yellow. This is a glaring colour which shows the charm of her and her brand. A great woman and a powerful fashion corporation.

This elevator is for Steve Job.
The Apple corporation has many products, such as mp3, mp4, Hi-Fi, computer and mobile and so on. The wing-like shape indicates that Apple produces different sorts of electronic products and Steve Job is leading Apple to develop more and more new products in different areas. The base of the elevator is like Ipod Nano-the one of most famous products of Apple. Therefore, the whole design shows that Apple is becoming more and more powerful.
