In order to maintain privacy from the dense neighborhood, the majority of the windows were moved from the walls on to the ceiling where they appear as slits that are cut from the structure. Sunlight filters in from above, defining the perimeter of the room and consuming the area left unused by the offset volumes.

Corrugated steel cladding unites the three structures, which are only momentarily interrupted by select and simplified openings. Inside, materialization is kept to a minimum, utilizing only wood, concrete and the color white to create space that endlessly flow from one to another.
