From the initial concept sketches to the final placement of art, the project draws on the surrounding context to ground its monumental form. Every junction, detail, and lighting layer is calibrated to encourage slow discovery.
We choreographed a sequence of framed views, tactile surfaces, and dedicated niches for sculpture and art—crafting an environment that is contemplative yet deeply livable. The result pairs refined brutalism with human warmth.
