The brief

A civic room on the Corniche. The roof is a thin folded plate that appears to float over a glass perimeter, its underside lined in warm timber so the whole ceiling glows at dusk. Circulation loops the exhibits without ever cutting across them — visitors are carried, not directed.

Deliberate moves
  • 01A folded plate roof read as one thin, floating surface
  • 02A looping route that never crosses itself
  • 03Timber soffit tuned to catch the low evening sun
