Interior perspectives
The perspectives show the interior of the two key spaces of the building. They deal with materiality, furniture and also the inhabitation and occupation of the spaces.
Model 1:50
The model was constructed with wood material in white color in an effort to emphasize shadows that are created by the oblong shape of the space and the source of daylight penetrates into it from the roof windows.
