Located in an industrial park, a small shell space was to be transformed in to an office to promote and inspire creativity, flexibility, agility, and environmental accountability along with maximum use of every square inch. Awareness of the of space, flow of natural light, most cost effective yet expressive composition of materials and methods was among the goals.

Thus, the design evolved around juxtaposition of space requirements creating organic forms, facilitating function and natural human movement, using humble and easy to maintain materials. Filtered day light through the forms created a never-ending variation of shadows reflecting time of the day, seasons and changes in atmosphere.
