Further Exploration in Perspective
Currently working on studying the "feature" elements as well as the wall in materials. I believe that I would like to use a "heavy" material for the wall element (i.e. concrete of polished stone material). For the cantilevered elements, I believe one will be an all glass box, a second would incorpate glass and wood, the third would be a semi-transparent material, and the fourth would be a material metal (possible cor-ten). I am also exploring the notion of suspending the stairs from the ceiling/roof structure with a heavy duty cable system. By doing this, it would eliminate the need for any structural elements that might disrupt the views to the central core or to the floor plates.

It will definitely be a challenge to suspend the elements. I am really interested in how the elements all "float" in the space. Definitely give some thought to the structural system for suspension... it could have a major impact on the space. We probably will not get that far into the building with this studio, but it would be good to know for yourself.
I think the suspension is intersting. How about wrapping the tension wires with fiber optics for additional visual displays, color and virtual motion?
Nice drawings. The transition from jellyfish to solid made a tremendous difference in the reading of the spatial quality. Much improved. It goes back to the vibrancy/energy of your initial conceptual storyboard, etc. And you are now achieving it without the use of the added imagery. Well done.
