Stone is used to frame utilitarian elements like windows and skylights, turning them into subtle moments of emphasis. A blackened metal marks the pre-foyer, designed to age naturally and develop bluish and purplish patina over time. Perforated metal flooring introduces an industrial texture underfoot, drawing a direct link to the building’s utilitarian

In a world increasingly driven by automation and rapid industrial shifts, our concept stands as a tribute to the art of making with human intention.
