The building’ s clerestory level offers rustic beams, columns, and industrial connections. The clerestory views and aesthetics will make visitors find something special on every visit.
Quality of Light
Natural light is an important design characteristic. In the atrium space, light is used as a signifier for social gathering. As a visitor proceeds to more private areas, lighting is reduced to a more intimate setting. To maximize light, the atrium roof has been giving a glass makeover to give visitors crossing the bridges and on the ground floor the beauty of the natural sky and its light. This transparency also works in the other direction as artificial lighting during evening hours showcases a social factory that will attract more residents / visitors to the site.

Atrium Core Space Exterior Elevator
Clerestory Windows
The building exterior remained preserved, but due to programmatic use and building code reinforcement, an elevator was needed to accommodate vertical transitions for ADA and visitor comfort. The elevator became an exterior feature, a difference facade, glass walls for complex outlook, and non-competing with the building’ s nostalgia.
