Steve Job's Elevator. It consists of one shape basically which is rectangle. It is very interesting that from one shape, you can make very nive shape. Additionally, the shape reflects the big influence.


Donatella's Elevator (I made it to convey elegance and glamour)





The pathway to Steve Job's office. I make it with glass becuase it reflects with the idea of modernism and minimalism. The idea comes out when I looked at some Steve's masterpiece which is very modern and minimalist.



Steve Job's dining table.







The stairs.


The place and rooms that I make for Steve jobs are very simple because it is suitable and it well reflect to the designs of him which is very simple and modern.

Some of Steve's places and rooms very big, because it will communicate with the people that Steve has a big influence in the society. In addition, the shape that I made is based on rectangle and some curvy shape at the corner, to express the idea of Steve Jobs.
