Working Place
The skylights diffuse the light in the workroom and eliminate the need for artificial lighting during the day. The lobby is the focus of business transactions; the box lobby affords public access around the clock while the hub is the workroom.
Sunlight penetrates the deepest spaces, or is held by the rough surfaces of the block work, wood beams or by the softness of the interior planting, eliminating definition of where the building begins or ends.
The superstructure is of doublecell concrete masonry units which combine structural support, thermal and acoustical insulation, exterior and interior finishes, conceal plumbing and electrical lines.
