MATERIALS
Use of horizontal wood strips blurs the boundaries between separate spaces and provides lighting control.
Concrete brings the exterior into the interior, blurring more boundaries. Unpolished concrete designates aisles for travel, whilepolished concrete designates destinations in the “city within a city.”
Frosted glass diffuses overheadlighting in the entry space and allows light to enter the multipurpose room by blending with the sidewalk on the exterior of the building.
