New building - textures and gallery

Initially I created 4 sets of stairs, however the two that I liked the best were in different buildings, thus, I joined the two to create one building using both the stairs. Furthermore, I changed the one staircase in order to utilize the wall by making the person walk through the wall half way down, finishing the staircase on the other side, looking out at the artworks.
Above ground: The top level is a studio, dedicated to Hall's and Gascogine's works that demand more space and light. The level is open to natural surroundings, and incorporates large open areas allowing them to create works using appropriate natural light, and artificial light if needed. In addition, there are tables and cupboards inside the slanted buildings, for storage of equipment and works.
In between: The Gallery space is open, and allows natural light to enter through the walls. The staircase has been position so that as one walks down the stairs, they over look the gallery. One enters the gallery not by a door, but rather by walking over the hill and under the monument into the gallery space. The gallery space has very little closure, purposely done allowing one to consider and appreciate the surroundings that they have created their works in.
Below: The studio below has many different enclosed areas created by triangles. Hall and Gascogine can work within these spaces, store equipment and artworks in these as well. In addition they can be used for film and photography. 2 triangle spaces have purposely been created as cupboards for storage of equipment. This gallery is underground, however only 3/4's of the walls are underground, allowing natural light to enter the level.This furthermore creates a potent juxtaposition between the earth underground and vegetation above ground, as the transparent walls allows one to see this contrast.
